To  Whom  It  May  Concern: - 

The  integrity  of  the  Peoples  Out¬ 
fitting  Company  is  such  as  to  give  pleasure  to  the  Officers 
of  this  Bank  in  testifying  to  the  high  esteem  in  which  we 
hold  this  Company. 


Our  opinion  is  the  result  of  more  than 
fifteen  years  of  uninterrupted  pleasant  business  trans¬ 
actions  and  we  feel  certain  that  every  customer  of  this 
Company  will  be  treated  fairly. 

In  our  judgment,  the  financial  condition 
of  the  Peoples  Outfitting  Company  should  give  you  confi¬ 
dence  in  sending  them  money  with  orders  for  we  understand 
that  they  ship  all  goods  with  the  understanding  that  all 

money,  together  with  whatever  freight  charges  you  may  have 

f 

paid,  will  be  refunded  on  any  purchase  that  is  not  entirely 
satisfactory.

as  shown  here  has  every  known  improvement  for  the  protection  of  it’s

Cart  shown  here  was  not  quite  finished— that’s  why  we  could  not  give  this  page  a  number. 

All  of  the  other  pages  were  printed  for  the  book  when,  at  the  last  minute,  this  sheet  Was 
printed  and  inserted.  Important  improvements  were  being  completed— experts  were  working  day 
and  night  to  bring  out  this  improved  Go-Cart,  which  is  so  far  in  advance  of  anything  ever  before 
constructed.  The  results  accomplished  by  this  extraordinary  effort  are  shown  in  the  magnificent 
Go-Cart  here  illustrated.  It  stands  today  without  an  equal.  It  is  perfect  in  the  quality  of  the 
material  used,  perfect  in  workmanship  and  finish  and  perfect  in  design.  It  is  built  along  improv¬ 
ed  lines  with  new  appliances  never  before  incorporated  in  a  Go-Cart— with  new  spring  construc¬ 
tion  that  takes  up  the  motion  and  jarring  caused  by  rough  walks  or  roads.  It  has  all  the  requisites 
of  comfort.  Detachable,  folding  lap  cover  or  Dash  Hood;  Adjustable  Dash;  Automatic  Foot  Brake. 


Medical  Experts  Claim 


that  the  old  fashioned  stiff  spring  Go-Carts  are  injuri¬ 
ous  to  babies  and  should  not  be  used.  This  new  design 
is  recommended  by  doctors  and  nurses  and  by  everyone  who  has  seen  it.  People  are  surprised  that 
such  a  fine  cart  could  be  made  to  sell  at  such  a  low  price.  It  meets  the  requirements  to  the  most  ex¬ 
acting  customers  and  satisfies  them  in  respect  to  quality,  convenience  and  comfort  as  well  as  in  low 
price  and  easy  terms  of  payment.  It  is  scientifically  constructed  and  absolutely  guaranteed. 


Special  Features. 


Compare  this  wonderfully  improved  Go-Cart  with  anything  you 
have  ever  seen— compare  it  with  those  usnally  sold  for  $10  and 
even  $12  and  $15.  Look  at  the  special  features  this  cart  possesses  that  are  found  on  no  other.  Com¬ 
pare  every  detail  carefully  and  you  will  soon  learn  how  much  better  this  cart  is  than  any  ever  before 
offered.  Adjustable  folding  dash  hood  in  addition  to  large  hood  or  buggy  top.  Frame  enameled  black. 


One  Motion  Self-Opening. 


There  has  never  been  anything  ever  invented  that 
can  compare  with  the  wonderfully  simple  folding 
construction  of  this  splendid  Go-Cart.  It  is  entirely  different  from  the  old  style  complicated  mechan¬ 
ism  used  by  so  many  manufacturers  and  it  cannot  get  out  of  order.  The  improved  spring  construc¬ 
tion  and  simplified  folding  device  place  this  cart  so  far  in  advance  of  all  other  makes  that  there  should 
be  no  question  in  the  mind  of  any  prospective  buyer  but  that  it  is  the  proper  Go-Cart  to  buy.  There’s 
a  great  deal  of  satisfaction  in  buying  a  cart  like  this  because  you  know  that  there  is  no  better  made. 
It  is  absolutely  self -opening,  being  of  the  very  latest  and  most  perfected  one-motion  type.  Take  hold 
of  the  pusher  bar,  pick  up  the  car  and  it’s  own  weight  opens  it.  No  thumb-screws  to  loosen— nothing 
to  get  out  of  order.  It  folds  up  very  compactly  and  is  easily  carried  about  on  street  cars,  in  carriages, 
etc.  Both  hoods  are  folding  and  dash  hood  is  detachable.  Wheels  fold  inward  beneath  the  frame.

DETROIT.  MICH.  U.  S.  A. 


First  of  All  —  We  Thank  You 


We  extend  our  very  deep  thanks  to  our  many  thousands  of 
kind  customers  scattered  all  over  the  world.  This  message  will  go 
to  every  corner  of  the  globe,  for  our  catalogues  go  wherever  the 
mails  go,  and  wherever  furniture  is  used  you’ll  find  our  furniture. 

We  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  the  public  in  general  for 
the  great  volume  of  orders  that  daily  pour  in  to  us.  Your  apprecia¬ 
tion  of  our  great  easy  way  to  pay  system  and  of  our  low  prices  has 
helped  us  make  this  grand  success. 

During  our  twenty -five  years  of  catering  to  the  wants  of  the 
people,  we  have  always  endeavored  to  help  you,  to  please  you  and 
to  win  your  friendship. 

Friendship  in  business  is  an  important  thing.  It’s  the  most 
valuable  asset  a  concern  like  ours  could  have.  It’s  this  way:  If  we 
please  you  and  win  your  friendship,  you’ll  tell  people  about  us  and 
get  them  to  order  from  us  too,  and  then  they’ll  do  the  same  thing, 
so  that  it  forms  an  endless  chain,  business  increases  and  from  a 
small  beginning  we  work  up  to  enormous  proportions.  That’s 
just  what  we’ve  done. 

And  that’s  why  we  thank  you,  because  you’ve  helped  us  build 
up  this  business  until  today  it  stands  as  a  monument  to  you  and  to 
us — the  largest  and  greatest  home  furnishing  institution  in  all  the 
world. 

Every  Order  You  Send 
Has  Personal  Attention 

Ever  since  we  started  in  business  many  years  ago,  we  have  given 
personal  attention  to  every  order  and  every  letter  that  has  come  to  us. 

And  no  matter  how  large  our  business  becomes,  we  shall  always 
be  able  to  give  your  orders  our  personal  care. 

We  read  every  word  you  write  us  and  attend  to  every  request 
you  make,  however  small.  We  give  you  the  kind  of  service  that  you 
want  and  expect  and  ought  to  have. 

Everything  comes  out  right;  because  we  deal  fair  and  square 
with  you,  answer  your  questions  and  treat  you  as  a  friend.  And 
because  we  do  this,  and  give  genuine  bargains,  we  have  grown  to 
be  the  greatest  housefurnishers  in  the  world,  and  are  making 
hundreds  of  homes  more  happy,  more  comfortable  and  more 
worth  living  in,  every  day. 

It  is  your  orders  together  with  the  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
others  we  receive  from  the  good  common  people  in  cities,  towns  and 
country  that  keep  the  wheels  turning  and  the  lights  burning  in  our 
great  factories.  And  it  is  to  you  that  we  owe  our  success — you 
whom  we  respect  and  want  to  help  by  giving  easy  credit. 


We  Trust  You  —  Privately 

Anything  shown  in  this  grand  catalogue  will  be  sent  to 
you  on  credit — and  you  can  have  all  the  time  you  want  to 
pay  for  what  you  buy. 

Our  great  easy-way-to-pay  plan  is  different  from  any 
other  credit  system  in  existence.  All  the  objectionable  fea¬ 
tures,  all  the  embarrassment  that  other  credit  houses  impose 
have  been  eliminated  so  that  our  easy-way-to-pay  plan  is 
business-like,  dignified,  respectable  and  devoid  of  all  com¬ 
plications. 

It’s  all  confidential  too— just  between  you  and  us  and 
no  one  else  will  know  anything  about  your  business. 

That’s  the  whole  basis  of  our  business — giving  credit 
and  trusting  all  the  people — everybody,  for  handsome, 
durable  and  substantial  home-furnishings.  You  can  have 
whatever  you  want  and  need  and  have  it  now,  when  yen 
need  it,  and  get  the  use  of  the  goods  to  enjoy  in  your  home 
while  you  are  paying  your  bill. 

Your  First  Question  Will  Be 


“How  can  you  afford  to  send  goods  out  to  any  one  on  credit 
if  you  don’t  know  them  ?  ” 

Our  answer  is  this:  We  have  learned  that  people  are  honest 
and  that  fairness  breeds  fairness.  When  we  do  as  we  agree  with 
you — and  better,  you’ll  do  as  you  agree  with  us.  When 
we  sell  to  you  lower  than  will  any  one  else,  you’ll  pay  the  small 
price  that  we  ask.  You  may  only  pay  a  little  each  month,  and  take 
your  time — but  that  makes  it  all  the  easier  for  you — and  you  will 
eventually  pay  all  you  owe. 

This  is  human  nature.  We  have  trusted  people  privately  for 
twenty-five  years,  and  we  have  proved  that  people  in  general  are 
honest,  when  we  are  honest  with  them. 

If  we  were  in  any  way  unfair,  our  credit  system  would  be  a 
failure.  People  would  not  pay  us  if  we  did  not  act  fair.  We  are 
compelled  to  give  you  the  lowest  factory  prices  —just  as  we  agree — 
or  you  would  say:  “they  were  not  fair  with  me,  why  should  I  be 
fair  with  them”. 

But  nobody  can  say  that.  Our  business,  which  is  the  biggest 
of  its  kind  in  the  world,  has  grown  to  its  present  proportions  by 
giving  every  customer  a  “square  deal”;  and  then  they  pay  us  to 
keep  their  credit  good,  so  they  can  buv  from  us  again  and  again. 


/ 


Six  Hundred  Thousand  Comfort¬ 
able  Homes 

have  been  furnished  on  our  credit  system,  and  thousands  upon 
thousands  of  people  have  been  made  happy. 

It  pays  to  have  a  comfortable,  nicely  furnished  home  because 
it  keeps  the  father  and  husband  at  home  evenings,  and  he  enjoys 
himself  and  saves  money  besides.  It  makes  the  children  grow  up 
with  happier  thoughts  and  dispositions  and  gives  the  young  folks  a 
place  in  which  to  entertain  their  friends  nicely  without  cost. 

Every  Woman  Deserves  a  Com¬ 
fortable  Home 

The  wife  and  mother  should  have  everything  comfortably 
furnished  in  her  home  because  she  spends  her  whole  life  there. 

Every  man  who  has  a  wife  owes  his  first  duty  to  her  to  have  the 
home  as  complete  as  he  can  help  to  make  it,  and  every  man  with 
self-respect  wants  his  home  to  be  the  best  of  any  place  he  goes  to. 

But  it  is  hard  to  get  what  you  want  when  you  want  it,  if  you 
have  to  pay  out  all  cash  for  it  at  high  prices — or  even  at  low  prices 
for  slip-shod  goods. 


To  Us  All  Men  are  Equal — Your 
Credit  is  Good 

It  doesn’t  matter  how  little  or  how  much  you  have,  or  how  little 
you  earn,  we  don’t  even  ask  you  to  tell  us  about  it,  we  trust  one  and 
all  alike,  but  especially  the  great  mass  of  common  people  whom  we 
know  to  be  honest  and  willing  to  pay  even  though  they  have  very 
small  means  and  work  for  daily  wages. 

Many  of  our  customers  could  pay  all  cash  if  they  wanted 
to,  but  they  like  our  credit  plan  because  they  can  get  more 
for  their  money  and  get  all  the  things  they  want  and  need  at  once, 
and  not  have  to  wait  and  save  to  pay  all  cash,  and  don’t  have  to 
draw  their  money  out  of  the  bank,  but  can  use  their  money  for 
other  purposes  while  paying  us  on  the  easiest  terms  ever  offered. 
If  you  have  money  in  the  bank,  leave  it  there  and  let  it  draw 
interest  for  you,  and  buy  your  goods  on  the  easy-way-to-pay  plan. 

It  makes  no  difference  whether  you  live  within  five  miles  of 
Detroit  or  five  thousand  miles  away  —  you  get  the  same  low 
prices  as  if  you  walked  into  any  one  of  the  our  big  city  stores 
and  paid  down  all  cash.

Order  what  you  want  and  pay  for  it  as  you  go  along.  A  little

good  furniture,  and  our  easy  terms  make  it  possible  for  you  to  have 
the  best  furniture  in  the  world  at  the  lowest  prices — and  you  can 
pay  for  it  according  to  your  income. 

Everything  about  our  method  will  please  you — our  liberality 
with  our  customers  having  won  favor  for  us  throughout  the  world. 


Our  Combined  Capital  and  Re¬ 
sources  of  Ten  Million  Dollars 

Our  combined  capital  and  resources  of  $10,000,000  is  a 
positive  guarantee  to  you  of  satisfaction  when  dealing  with  us, 
and  in  addition  to  our  staunch  reliability  we  send  with  every  article 
or  order  our  gold  guarantee  certificate  which  is  backed  up  by  $5,000 
in  gold  deposited  for  our  customer’s  security  in  the  First  National 
Bank  of  Detroit,  Michigan.  We  go  to  all  this  trouble  just  to  inspire 
confidence  in  people  who  do  not  know  us,  and  for  further  reference, 
we  ask  you  to  read  the  letter  from  the  First  National  Bank  of  Detroit, 
printed  on  the  inside  of  the  front  cover  page  of  this  book.  Any 
newspaper  or  any  magazine,  as  well  as  any  bank  or  mercantile 
agency,  will  vouch  for  our  high  standing  in  the  commercial  world.

Thirty  Days  Free  Trial —  All 
Goods  Shipped  on  Approval 

You  risk  nothing  when  you  buy  from  us  because  you  can  have 
full  30  days  to  try  the  goods  in  your  home  to  see  if  everything  is 
right  and  satisfactory  and  pleasing  to  you.  If  you  are  not  satisfied 
at  the  end  of  that  time,  we  won’t  ask  you  to  keep  the  goods,  but  you 
can  return  them  at  our  expense,  with  the  understanding  that  we 
pay  freight  both  ways  and  send  back  the  money  you  sent  us  as 
first  payment. 

This  liberal  offer  shows  how  confident  we  are  that' our  goods 
will  please  you.  Our  furniture  is  the  best  that  is  made.  If  you 
want  to  know  just  how  much  difference  there  is  then  turn  to  page 
2  of  this  book  where  it  tells  all  about  “Fashion”  and  “Art-style” 
furniture,  and  on  page  3  you  will  see  the  diploma  we  got  from  the 
State  of  Michigan. 

Every  article  you  see  illustrated  in  our  catalogue  is  made  of 
durable,  substantial,  high  grade  material — and  made  by  expert 
workmen  and  cabinet-makers  who  get  high  wages  and  work  short 

hours. 

You  know  how  it  is  when  men  get  good  pay,  they  do  their 
best  and  see  that  everything  is  right  and  well  finished,  and  as  it 
should  be  to  go  into  your  home  and  be  seen  by  friends  and  neigh¬ 
bors,  who  would  know  if  anything  is  wrong,  and  say  so. 


There  May  be  Some  Questions 
You  Would  Like  to  Ask  of  Us 

Please  write  to  us  today  if  there  is  anything  about 
our  system,  if  there  is  anything  about  the  way  to  order, or  anything 
about  our  prices  or  our  goods  that  is  not  perfectly  plain  to  you  and 
easy  to  understand. 

We’ve  tried  in  this  book  to  make  everything  as  clear  as  possible, 
nevertheless,  we  know  that  sometimes  we  don’t  quite  succeed 
in  making  ourselves  understood.  Now  that’s  our  fault,  not  yours, 
and  we  are  glad  when  you  write  and  call  our  attention  to  it 
and  ask  us  questions  so  that  you  can  find  out  about  the  things  you 
want  to  know,  and  so  that  we  can  tell  you  our  side  of  the  story. 

Whenever  you  see  in  any  other  catalogue  a  price  on  an  article 
that  is  lower  than  the  lowest  priced  article  that  we  quote  in  the 
same  line  of  goods,  please  write  and  tell  us  about  it.  Either  the 
other  catalogue  is  wrong,  or  ours  is  w  rong.  No  other  catalogue  can 
possibly  quote  lower  prices  than  this  catalogue  unless  it’s  an  error 
in  printing  on  one  side  or  the  other. 

Of  course  we  refer  only  to  eases  where  reliable  goods  are  shown, 
and  you  must  be  careful  to  make  allowances  for  instances  where 
another  concern  has  copied  our  pictures  and  our  designs  and 
maliciously,  with  bad  intentions,  offers  inferior  merchandise  which 
is  represented  to  be  the  same  as  our  high  grade  “honor  made” 
home  furnishings.

We  Guarantee  Every  Article 

to  be  exactly  as  we  represent  it.  Our  home  furnishings  are  the 
kind  that  a  sensible,  practical  bride  and  groom  would  buy  when 
first  married  to  keep  and  use  in  their  home  as  long  as  they  live. 

Don’t  do  your  family  and  yourself  the  injustice  to  order  from 
any  other  catalogue  until  you  see  our  goods  and  try  our  easy  plan. 

Don’t  take  the  other  fellow’s  word  for  it  when  we  offer  to  “show 
you”,  and  let  you  try  anything  you  want  and  need  and  pay  us  only 
a  little  first  and  the  rest  while  you  are  using  the  goods  in  your  home 
and  proving  that  you  got  a  “square  deal”,  and  the  “best  for  the 
money”,  and  can  get  more  if  you  want  it  the  same  way.

Our  Correspondence  Department 

will  gladly  furnish  any  information  that  you  require,  regarding  our 
business. 

We  maintain  this  correspondence  department  for  the  sole 
purpose  of  answering  and  writing  letters  of  this  sort,  and  you  need 
not  feel  that  you  will  be  bothering  us  if  you  write  us  a  letter. 

We  know  that  certain  concerns  ask  you  not  to  write  them  any 
letters,  not  to  give  them  any  bother,  all  they  care  for  is  your  order 
and  your  money,  but  that  isn’t  the  “People’s  way.”  We  don’t 
ask  any  one  to  buy  blindly  or  to  take  chances.  Our  business  is 
too  big  and  too  old  and  too  well  organized  for  that.  We 
are  here  to  please  you  and  to  accommodate  you,  and  only  by  pleas¬ 
ing  you  well  do  we  hope  to  win  and  hold  your  patronage.  You  will 
like  our  methods  of  doing  business,  and  you  will  like  our  mer¬ 
chandise,  and  we  know  that  a  trial  order  will  make  you  one  of 
our  very  best  friends. 


The  Whole  World  Comes  to 
Michigan  for  Furniture 

Michigan  is  the  greatest  furniture  producing  state  in  the  world, 
and  we  are  the  largest  distributors,  direct  to  the  people.  We  own 
and  control  the  output  of  factories.  Being  located  in  Detroit,  Mich¬ 
igan’s  chief  city  and  natural  outlet,  we  save  all  freight  charges. 
Detroit  is  one  of  America’s  largest  mail  order  centers,  and  it  is  a 
well  known  fact  that  more  tv.  image  goes  through  the  Detroit  River 
than  through  any  other  port  in  the  entire  world.  Our  railroad  facili¬ 
ties  are  unsurpassed  and  for  house  furnishings,  Detroit  is  conceded 
to  be  the  greatest  shipping  point  in  the  United  States. 

People  turn  to  us  for  home  furnishings  as  naturally  as  they 
turn  to  Philadelphia  for  silks,  textiles  and  locomotives;  to  Pittsburg 
for  steel  and  to  Chicago  for  live  stock  and  grain.  We  sell  more  fur¬ 
niture  and  house  furnishings  than  any  other  concern  in  existence, 
and  our  immense  sales  give  us  such  a  high  standing  with  furniture 
makers  that  they  come  to  us  and  offer  us  even  lower  prices  than 
it  costs  them  to  make  the  furniture,  because  they  know  that  we 
always  stand  ready  to  take  large  quantities  of  high  quality  home 
furnishings  at  a  spot  cash  price,  and  pay  them  right  down  for  it  in 
money. 


We  Charge  You  Less  Because 
Our  Prices  are  Wholesale  Prices 

We  sell  to  you  exactly  as  low  as  we  sell  to  a  dealer.  All  the 
discount  we  give  dealers,  from  the  prices  quoted  in  this  book,  is 
5%  for  cash  in  30  days.  You  can  have  that  discount  too,  if  you 
pay  in  30  days. 

We  can  quote  you  wholesale  prices — factory  prices — because 
our  selling  expense  is  so  small.  And  it  costs  us  less  to  send  this 
catalogue  to  you  than  it  costs  to  send  a  salesman  to  sell  a  dealer. 

So  the  fact  that  your  dealer’s  prices  are  higher  than  our  prices 
does  not  reflect  on  your  dealer.  If  he  buys  from  us,  he  must  add 
his  profit  to  our  prices.  If  he  buys  from  others,  he  must  pay  more 
than  we  pay.  And  he  must  pay  in  addition,  what  it  costs  the  factory 
to  sell  him. 

We  do  not  wish  to  reflect  on  your  dealer.  He  may  be  one  of 
our  customers.  He  must  of  necessity  pay  more  than  we  pay.  And 
he  must  have  a  profit  of  50%  in  order  to  run  his  business.  Then 
whatever  he  charges  you,  he  must  have  his  money  quickly.  He 
cannot  afford  to  give  you  long  credit  like  we  do. 

It  isn’t  your  dealer’s  fault — the  vast  advantage  that  we  give 
you  on  prices.  It  is  simply  our  advantage.  But  it  means  the  same 
to  you.  You  cannot  afford  to  pay  more  than  we  ask  just  because  a 
dealer  charges  more.  You  must  buy  where  you  can  buy  for  the 
least  money,  and  get  the  best  quality  goods  and  the  easiest  terms.

We  Invite  Comparisons 

We  don't  ask  you  to  take  our  word  for  anything  we  say  about 
our  goods  or  prices.  You  have  the  privilege  of  examining  the 
articles  right  in  your  own  home,  and  you  can  stand  them  right  along¬ 
side  of  other  goods  that  you  buy  from  any  dealer;  and  in  this  way 
convince  yourself  that  quality  for  quality,  price  for  price,  we  have 
absolutely  no  competition  and  sell  our  high  grade  home  furnishings 
at  from  25  to  40  per  cent  less  than  any  other  concern  in  existence. 

Even  our  lowest  priced  goods  are  thoroughly  well  made,  and 
we  tell  you  this  for  your  own  benefit:  that  any  article  so  poorly 
made  that  it  cannot  be  guaranteed  “on  honor”  will  find  no  place 
in  this  catalogue. 

We  warn  you  not  to  be  deceived  by  a  seemingly  low  price. 
Just  use  your  own  judgment  and  figure  out  how  cheap  it  is  possible 
to  sell,  or  even  make  an  article  of  home  furnishing — and  you’ll 
find  our  price  rock  bottom. 


We  Ship  All  Orders  Promptly 

Our  facilities  for  handling  your  orders  in  the  quickest  time 
have  won  us  hundreds  of  customers.  People  like  to  get  their 
goods  promptly  because  they  usually  need  them  when  they  order 
them,  and  they  don't  like  to  be  kept  waiting.  We  realize  this,  and 
therefore  carry  in  stock  enormous  assortments  of  all  goods  shown 
in  our  catalogue. 

We  acknowledge  your  order  the  day  it  comes  in  the  house 
so  that  you  will  know  quickly  that  we  have  received  your  money 
and  that  your  order  is  being  given  prompt  attention. 

In  this  way  you  are  relieved  of  the  anxiety  of  knowing  whether 
or  not  your  mail  has  been  either  delayed  or  lost,  and  thousands  of 
people  write  to  us  and  thank  us  for  this  great  system  of  ours  which 
promptly  acknowledges  an  order  and  guarantees  prompt  shipment 
of  that  order.

OFFICE  OF  THE  PRESIDENT 

WlHiltllHHIlllHHIHliUlllllllttHtHtttmmHimimHUHIltttlUtimiitlHttltttHti 


To  The  Public:- 

You  will  pardon  me  if  I  take  the  liberty  of  inserting  this 
personal  letter  in  our  catalog,  but  I  am  sure  my  message  will  not  be  out 
of  place. 

It  was  my  belief  in  the  masses  that  prompted  me  to  establish  this 
business,  nearly  thirty  years  ago.  The  masses  have  maintained  it  -  and  it 
is  the  masses  that  I  want  on  my  books,  the  great  army  of  common  people  who 
earn  their  living  by  toil.  We  believe  in  them  more  than  any  other  class  of 
people,  and  it  is  for  their  benefit  in  particular  that  we  operate  on  the 
extended  credit  system. 

If  we  had  kept  up  the  old  style  all-cash  method  we  would  be  no 
larger  today  than  all-cash  houses.  As  it  is,  we  have  built  up  the  greatest 
home  furnishing  business  in  the  world.  We  have  the  masses  to  thank  for  it. 
They  represent  the  practical  buyers.  They  have  no  extravagances.  Every 
purchase  is  to  supply  an  actual  need.  Trained  from  the  cradle  to  practice 
economy  and  moderation,  their  ideas  are  solid  and  sensible  -and  that’s  why 
they  are  worthy  all  the  accommodations  that  may  be  given  them. 

Our  credit  plan  is  as  solid  as  Gibraltar  and  a  benefit  to  all 
mankind.  How  many  of  the  six  hundred  thousand  homes  that  we  have  furnished 
would  ever  have  been  established  but  for  our  credit  plan?  Hot  many.  Eew 
indeed  could  have  accumulated  in  a  lump  sum  all  the  money  necessary  if  they 
had  to  pay  all  cash,  and  if  I  had  not  established  this  business  and  origin¬ 
ated  the  furniture  credit  system,  think  of  the  thousands  who  would  have 
missed  the  real  joy  and  happiness  of  a  cozily  furnished  home  of  their  own. 

You  will  see  now  that  I  have  a  real  mission  in  life  -  a  self 
chosen  mission  which  I  have  followed  with  the  utmost  willingness.  We  fur¬ 
nish  homes  for  everybody  and  trust  everybody  -  and  distribute  the  payments 
over  a  long  period  of  time. 

In  conclusion,  I  wish  to  say  that  we  have  always  tried  our  best 
to  do  the  right  thing  for  all  concerned,  and  I  think  I  am  justified  in 
saying  that  the  enormous  volume  of  business,  which  we  so  proudly  boast,  is 
the  public’s  mark  of  approval  and  appreciation-  their  expression  of  satis¬ 
faction  with  our  merchandise,  our  prices,  our  terms  and  our  methods. 

I  sincerely  hope  that  our  efforts  to  maintain  the  high  degree  of 
service  we  have  given  -  and  to  improve  -  will  warrant  a  continuation  of 
your  loyal  support, 

Very  truly  and  respectfully, 


President,  People’s  Outfitting  Company 


First  to  Obtain  Perfection  ™vs  thf fir,st 

__  -  furniture  to  ob¬ 

tain  the  high  degree  of  perfection  as  exemplified  in  this  new 
1910  line.  The  supreme  achievements  in  the  furniture 
building  industry  are  embodied  in  these  magnificent  goods. 
The  artist,  the  woodcarver,  the  cabinet  maker,  have  all  com¬ 
bined  their  best  ability  in  order  to  produce  a  line  of  home- 
furnisliings  which,  though  they  represent  the  elegance  of  a 
mansion,  can  be  sold  at  prices  no  higher  than  is  generally 
asked  for  the  ordinary  unreliable  kinds. 


What  This  Means  to  You  11  means  tla‘  yi; 

-  _ - __ - -  can  now  get  the 

kind  of  furniture  for  which  you  have  always  longed  —  the 
kind  that  improves  the  appearance  of  every  surrounding  and 
makes  the  whole  atmosphere  of  home  more  cheerful,  more 
comfortable  and  more  happy.  The  Gold  Medal  Brand  rep¬ 
resents  the  kind  of  furniture  that  is  seen  in  the  best  homes  in 
the  land  —  the  sturdy,  reliable  kind.  It  is  the  culmination 
of  art  as  applied  to  furniture-craft,  making  possible  that  al¬ 
most  indescribable  something  which  distinguishes  furniture 
of  character  and  quality  from  the  mediocre,  homely  sort. 


A  Grand  Innovation  We  are  proud  to  be  able  to 

_  _____  _________  now  oner  these  magnificent 

homefuruishings  at  prices  even  lower  than  others  charge  for 
ordinary  goods.  It  will  revolutionize  the  housefurnishing 
business,  because  it  will  enable  people  in  modest  circum¬ 
stances  to  furnish  their  homes  as  comfortably  as  those  of 
their  wealthier  neighbors.  Everybody  wants  good  furni¬ 
ture,  and  now  that  it  can  be  had  at  bargain  prices  there  is 
every  advantage  in  buying  the  Gold  Medal  Brand. 


More  for  Your  Money  It  has  always  been  our 

■  ___  desire  to  give  our  cus¬ 

tomers  more  for  their  money  and  better  treatment  than  it  is 
possible  to  get  elsewhere.  We  have  always  aimed  to  win 
the  confidence  and  continued  patronage  of  every  one  who  has 
ever  sent  us  an  order.  Our  great  success  in  so  doing  is  told 
by  the  steady  growth  of  our  institution  from  a  small  begin¬ 
ning  over  twenty-five  years  ago  to  the  largest  Credit  Mail 
Order  Establishment  in  the  world  today.  The  introduction 
and  exclusive  sale  of  the  famous  Gold  Medal  Brand  Furni¬ 
ture  is  but  another  step  in  advance  and  another  proof  of  our 
ability  to  serve  you  better  than  any  other  concern.

Impressive  Tribute 

Paid  to  the 

People’s  Outfitting  Co. 

by  the 

Greatest  Furniture  State  in  the  World 


The  Triumphant  Achievement  in  Furniture  Building 


The  Gold  Medal  Brand 


is  the  outgrowth  of  remarkable 
improvements  and  alterations  in 
manufacturing  processes.  The  necessity  for  these  great  improve¬ 
ments  has  long  been  felt;  but  it  remained  for  the  People’s  Outfitting 
Co.,  the  great  Michigan  institution,  to  develop  them.  In  the  first 
place,  Michigan  is  the  great  lumbering  camp  of  the  world,  the  far- 
famed  furniture  manufacturing  state.  Located,  as  we  are,  here  in  the 
midst  of  so  many  natural  advantages,  our  factory  interests  have 
grown  to  colossal  proportions.  We  now  have  in  our  employ  the  most 
skilled  and  experienced  experts  the  world  has  ever  known;  and  the 
machinery  and  equipment  in  our  big  factories  is  the  finest  that  brains 
can  invent  or  that  money  will  buy.  Small  wonder  is  it  then,  that  with 
unlimited  resources,  wre  have  been  able  to  place  upon  the  market  this 
magnificent  Gold  Medal  Brand  furniture  at  prices  as  low  or  lower  than 
you  would  have  to  pay  elsewhere  for  the  cheap  thrown  together  kind. 


AWnrrl  Ahftllt  flliallfv  You  know  g°od  furniture  when 
_  If  ora  HPOmI  ywqniy  you  see  it  --you  can  tell  the  differ¬ 
ence  between  Gold  Medal  Brand  furniture  and  the  ordinary  kind  as 
soon  as  it  is  set  up  in  your  home.  Other  people  will  notice  it,  too,  for  it 
stands  out  above  the  common  class  of  gcods  so  far  that  there  is  no 
comparison.  In  the  manufacture  of  Gold  Medal  Brand  furniture 
the  quality  of  the  wood,  the  appropriateness  of  design,  the  consistency 
of  outline,  the  perfectness  of  propori  ions,  the  depth  and  evenness  of 
carvings,  the  seasoning  and  the  finish  are  all  considered,  and  the  fin¬ 
ished  product  is  the  finest  that  it  is  possible  to  produce.  When  you 
buy  from  the  People’s  Outfitting  Co.,  you  are  assured  of  getting  the 
genuine  Gold  Medal  Brand  furniture,  the  equal  of  which  has  never 
before  been  offered  or  shown.  Better  goods  for  the  same  money  is  our

that  you  are  getting-  real  solid  value  in  such  articles.  Unfortunately, 
pictures  look  very  much  alike  and  oftentimes  the  common  grades  of

General  Information,

Freight  Charges 


Cl)  n  CUinmanfe  On  account  of  our  liberal  credit  terms  of 
■  OnipUlCllTj  payment,  we  do  not  ship  any  goods  C.  O. 

D.  The  amount  of  the  first  payment  which  we  require  is  so  small  as 
compared  with  the  amount  of  goods  purchased  that  a  C.  O.  D.  ship¬ 
ment  is  an  unnecessary  delay  and  expense  to  you.  On  C.  O.  D.  ship¬ 
ments  the  railroad  companies  make  an  extra  charge  for  collecting  and 
sending  the  money  to  shipper,  which  extra  charge  you  would  have  to 
pay.  The  C.  O.  D.  method  often  causes  unnecessary  and  disagreeable 
delays  because  of  the  extra  requirements  wThich  the  railroad  companies 
make  on  shipments  of  this  kind.  Our  method  is  cheaper  and  mere 
liberal  than  that  of  any  of  the  regular  mail  order  houses,  because  the 
first  payment  which  we  require  is  smaller  than  all  other  mail  order 
houses  ask  you  on  C.  O.  D.  shipments. 

Hup  Dion  RofloP  F°r  example:  You  buy  a  sideboard  from  any 
UUT  rldn  PCIICI  0ther  mail  order  house  for  $12.00.  The  deposit 
which  they  require  before  they  ship  the  sideboard  is  at  least  $2.50  and 
when  the  order  is  received  you  pay  the  balance,  $9.50,  in  addition  to 
the  freight  charges  and  the  extra  amount  required  for  the  cost  of  col¬ 
lection.  When  buying  from  us  you  pay  $1.50  down  and  the  sideboard 
is  delivered  to  your  station.  Then  all  you  need  to  do  is  pay  the  freight 
and  take  it  home.  You  can  buy  all  you  need  from  us  in  like  manner. 
There  is  no  collection  fee  and  no  compulsion  to  pay  the  full  price  for 
goods  before  you  see  what  you  are  really  getting. 

It  is  understood  that  you  pay  the  freight  on 
all  goods  shipped  to  you,  but  it  will  amount 
to  very  little,  as  compared  with  what  you  will  save  in  the  price.  The 
larger  you  make  your  order,  the  smaller  in  proportion  will  be  the  freight 
charges  and  the  greater  the  amount  that  you  will  save.  You  can  save 
money  on  freight  shipments  by  combining  with  other  people  in  your 
neighborhood  and  ordering  the  goods  shipped  in  the  same  car.  If 
you  cannot  get  others  to  order  with  you,  we  guarantee  that  even  on 
single  orders  the  saving  you  will  make  will  be  considerable  on  account 
of  our  extremely  low  prices. 

Fpoio*kt  QkSnmonte  You  Will  find  the  weight  of  each  article 
ri  CI^IH  wllljJIIICIIID  given  at  the  end  of  the  description  of  each 

article  in  this  catalog.  In  our  freight  table,  page  4,  you  will  find  the 
rate  per  100  pounds  on  all  goods  to  your  town  or  a  town  near  to  you. 
You  pay  the  freight  on  arrival  of  shipment,  if  you  have  an  agent  at 
your  station.  If  there  is  no  agent  at  your  station  it  will  be  necessary 
for  you  to  prepay  the  freight.  If  there  is  no  agent  at  your  station  it 
will  be  absolutely  necessary  for  you  to  send  us  enough  money  to  prepay 
the  freight.  This  money  to  prepay  the  freight  charges  must  be  in  ad¬ 
dition  to  the  first  payment  required  on  the  goods  you  select.  Under 
no  circumstances  can  we  ship  orders  to  stations  where  there  is  no 
agent  unless  the  money  to  prepay  freight  is  sent  us  with  your  order. 

If  you  have  no  agent  at  your  station,  we  suggest  that  you  have  the 
goods  sent  to  the  nearest  station  where  there  is  a  regular  freight  agent. 
If  you  do  not  care  to  do  this,  we  advise  you  to  make  careful  arrange¬ 
ments  to  have  thejgoods  cared  for  when  they  are  unloaded  from  the 
train  at  your  station.  We  suggest  this  extra  caution  because  at 
stations  where  there  is  no  agent  to  care  for  the  goods  after  they  are 
unloaded  from  the  train,  the  railroad  companies  will  not  be  responsible 
for  any  loss  or  damage  to  a  shipment  after  it  is  left  at  the  station. 

Shipments  Direct  from  Factory 

as  possible  we  find  we  can  quote  them  lower  prices  on  a  great  many 
of  the  larger  and  heavier  articles  of  furniture  by  shipping  direct  from 
the  factory.  Whenever  we  do  this  we  will  inform  you  what  goods  we 
are  shipping  from  the  factory  and  you  will  know  that  you  are  to  pay 
the  freight  on  such  goods  from  the  factory  only.  This  will  in  many 
cases  make  the  freight  charges  smaller.  You  can  easily  understand 
how  we  can  make  the  prices  to  you  much  cheaper  on  articles  shipped 
from  the  factory  when  you  consider  that  we  do  not  have  to  pay  the 
freight  on  such  goods  from  the  factory  to  our  warehouses  and  that  we 
do  not  have  the  expense  of  hauling  them  to  and  from  the  railroad 
and  of  handling  them  in  our  storerooms.  Our  binding  guarantee 
holds  good  on  such  articles  shipped  from  the  factory;  which  means 
that  you  are  not  taking  any  additional  risk,  as  we  guarantee  that 
the  goods  will  reach  you  in  perfect  condition. 

HAW  f  A  A  flip  I*  We  a^ways  send  order  blanks,  which  we  prefer  to 
AM  WIMP*  have  you  use,  as  you  will  find  them  more  con¬ 
venient,  but  if  you  have  none,  use  a  plain  sheet  of  paper.  If  you  are 
out  of  order  blanks,  drop  us  a  postal  card  and  we  will  be  pleased  to 
send  you  a  good  supply.  Whether  you  use  an  order  blank,  or  a  plain 
sheet  of  paper,  always  be  sure  to  write  your  name  in  full,  giving  each 
letter  of  your  first  name  as  well  as  of  your  last  name.  Write  as  plainly

and  clearly  as  possible.  Give  your  postoffice  address,  county  and 
state  in  which  you  live,  and  the  nearest  shipping  point,  if  different 
from  your  postoffice  address.  Write  “Catalog  numbers”  plainly  and 
in  full  figures  which  are  printed  somewhere  in  the  description  of  every 
article  in  the  book.  Every  article  in  the  book  has  a  catalog  num¬ 
ber  which  we  give  in  order  to  avoid  mistakes  of  sending  you  the  wrong 
goods  and  the  only  safe  way  for  you  to  order  is  to  always  mention  the 
number  which  you  will  find  given  somewhere  in  the  description  and 
along  wTith  the  price  of  the  article  you  desire.  Give  a  description  of 
the  article  you  want,  stating  finish,  color,  measurements,  etc.,  when 
required.  Enclose  with  your  order  first  payment  as  given  in  the  table 
of  terms  on  page  5.  Send  money  order  in  the  same  envelope  with  your 
order.  State  the  amount  you  are  sending.  Check  over  yonr  order 
after  you  have  it  written  out  to  be  sure  to  see  that  you  have  followed 
all  these  rules.  You  help  us  carry  out  your  order  quicker  and  surer  if 
you  faithfully  follow  these  rules. 

Make  all  your  payments  by  postoffice 
money  order,  express  money  order,  bank 
draft  or  cash.  We  prefer  any  of  the  above  to  checks,  and  do  not  accept 
stamps.  If  you  send  cash  be  sure  to  have  your  letter  registered.  The 
cost  is  but  slight  and  it  insures  safe  delivery  to  us.  We  advise  you 
to  send  postoffice  or  express  money  orders,  as  being  the  least  expen¬ 
sive  and  quickest  and  safest  way. 

Before  you  return  any  goods  to  us, 
write  us  concerning  them  first, 
stating  that  you  intend  to  send  them  back.  We  ask  this  so  that  if 
there  is  any  misunderstanding  we  may  have  a  chance  to  adjust  matters 
to  your  entire  satisfaction.  Whenever  it  may  be  necessary  for  you 
to  return  any  goods  please  write  us  fully  concerning  the  matter,  and 
be  sure  to  give  your  account  number. 

We  will  not  open  an  account  for 
amounts  less  than  $5.00.  Shipments 
for  less  than  that  will  prove  unprofitable  to  you,  and  we  do  not  advise 
them.  If,  however,  you  wish  to  order  something  for  less  than  $5.00 
please  send  cash  with  order. 

All  Dealing  CAnfidantial  All  dealings  with  us  are  carried 

Mil  ueclllllgs  UUIlllUCIIIIdl  on  in  the  strictest  confidence, 

and  you  need  not  hesitate  to  trade  with  us  for  fear  that  your 
home  merchant  or  friends  and  neighbors  will  know  about  it. 
We  take  every  precaution  that  no  one  in  your  town  will  know 
when  you  have  purchased  any  goods  from  us.  All  goods  are  put 
up  in  plain  packages  with  plain  tags,  without  our  name  appear¬ 
ing  on  them,  so  that  no  one  can  tell  they  came  from  us.  If  you 
desire,  you  can  tell  your  friends  of  your  dealings  with  us,  and 
we  will  appreciate  any  good  word  that  you  might  say  to  them 
for  us,  but  in  no  case  will  the  information  come  from  us.

cmirniy  nil  Hgcllla  and  not  to  make  any  payments  to 

people  representing  themselves  as  our  agents  or  representatives.  We 
have  no  agents  and  no  outside  representatives,  and  all  persons  thus 
claiming  to  be  in  any  way  connected  with  this  institution  or  in  any 
way  representing  it  are  frauds  and  imposters.  Transact  your  business 
only  with  our  Mail  Order  Building,  210-222  Sixth  street,  Detroit,  Mich., 
as  this  is  the  only  office  from  which  mail  orders  are  filled.  Send

Our  shipping  department  is  the 
most  perfect  organization  in  the 
world,  and  nothing  leaves  our  -warerooms  without  being  fully  ex¬ 
amined  and  carefully  packed.  The  goods  are  delivered  to  the  railroad 
company  in  perfect  condition,  and  in  every  case  we  secure  a  signed 
receipt  from  the  railroad  company  which  states  that  the  goods  are  in 
first-class  shape  when  received  by  them.  If  it  happens  that  any  article 
reaches  you  in  bad  Condition  or  if  it  is  marred,  scratched,  dented  or 
broken,  be  sure  to  have  the  freight  agent  make  a  written  notation  of 
such  damage  on  the  freight  receipt  which  he  gives  you.  Absolutely 
refuse  to  remove  the  goods  until  he  has  made  such  a  notation. 

After  he  has  made  the  proper  notation  of  the  damages  on  your 
freight  bill  pay  the  freight  and  accept  the  goods  and  take  them  home. 
Then  send  the  freight  bill  to  us  at  once  and  we  will  make  a  satisfac¬ 
tory  adjustment  of  the  damages,  holding  the  railroad  company  re¬ 
sponsible  for  accidents  and  carelessness,  and  making  good  to  you  any 
loss  sustained.  When  goods  are  badly  damaged,  we  will  send  new 
goods  in  place  just  as  soon  as  we  receive  your  freight  bill  with  proper 
notation  by  agent.  In  this  way  we  guarantee  you  absolutely  safe 
delivery  of  all  goods  purchased  from  us  and  we  hold  ourselve  respon¬ 
sible  to  supply  you  with  just  the  goods  you  order  in  perfect  condition.

SHIPPING  RATES  AND  REGULATION!* 

tiflin  DA  VC  TUC  CDCIPIITQ  To  avoid  any  misunderstanding,  we  wish  »  pi 
TVlIU  ■  AID  I  VIE  I  H kill II  I  ■  to  make  ourselves  clear  on  this  point, 

THE  PURCHASER  ALWAYS  PAYS  THE  FREIGHT 

IT  is  a  fixed  law  of  all  business  that  the  purchaser  pays  the  cost  of  delivery,  although  it  is  often  done  in  an  indirect 
manner.  Your  coal  dealer  could  sell  his  coal  50  cents  to  $1.00  per  ton  cheaper  if  his  customers  came  after  it  with 
their  own  wagons. 

This  is  equally  true  in  the  case  of  furniture.  Suppose  your  local  dealer  purchases  a  sideboard  from  a  manufacturer 
in  Grand  Rapids.  Now,  before  he  sells  it  to  you,  he  will  fix  his  retail  price  according  to  what  the  sideboard  costs  him. 
He  will  put  down  so  much  for  original  cost  of  the  sideboard,  so  much  for  clerk  hire,  rent,  light,  heat,  etc.,  plus  the 
freight  charges  from  Grand  Rapids  to  his  store.  So  you  will  see  that  you  always  pay  the  freight. 

There  is  a  vast  difference  in  your  favor,  however,  in  purchasing  from  the  People’s  Outfitting  Co.,  and  paying  the 
freight  yourself  or  direct  as  compared  to  purchasing  from  your  local  dealer  and  paying  the  freight  in  the  price  of  the 
article  or  indirectly,  and  it  is  this:  In  every  instance  where  you  purchase  from  the  People’s  Outfitting  Co.  the  price  is 
so  much  lower  that  THE  SAVING  WHICH  YOU  EFFECT  MORE  THAN  COVERS  THE  FREIGHT  CHARGES. 

Now,  if  you  purchase  from  the  People’s  Outfitting  Co.,  paying  the  freight  yourself  direct,  you  will  be  much  better 
off  than  if  you  bought  of  the  dealer  and  paid  him  the  freight  indirectly  as  part  of  the  cost  of  the  sideboard.  For  this 
reason:  The  great  saving  on  one  article  bought  at  the  “  People’s  ”  prices  will  more  than  cover  the  freight  charges  on  a 
great  number  of  articles.  Therefore,  we  do  not  prepay  freight,  as  we  can  get  no  lower  rates  than  you  can,  and  we 
should  be  obliged  to  increase  the  price  of  every  article  in  our  Catalogues. 


TO  ESTIMATE  SHIPPING  RATES 

FIRST — The  country  is  divided  into  three  Freight  Districts, 
as  follows : 

EasterrTStates :  Connecticut,  Delaware,  District  of  Columbia, 
Indiana,  Maryland,  Maine,  Massachusetts,  Michigan,  New  Hamp¬ 
shire,  New  Jersey,  New  York,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  Rhode  Island, 
Vermont,  Virginia,  West  Virginia.  Western  States:  Arkansas, 
Arizona,  California,  Colorado,  Idaho,  Illinois,  Iowa,  Indian  Terri¬ 
tory,  Kansas,  Louisiana,  Minnesota,  Missouri,  Montana,  Nevada, 
Nebraska,  North  Dakota,  New  Mexico,  Oregon,  Oklahoma, 
South  Dakota,  Texas,  Utah,  Wisconsin,  Wyoming.  Southern  States: 
Alabama,  Florida,  Georgia,  Kentucky,  Mississippi,  North  Carolina, 
South  Carolina,  Tennessee. 

SECOND — Refer  to  the  “Merchandise  Classification”  and  see 
the  rating  of  the  article  or  articles  you  wish  to  order. 

THIRD — Refer  to  the  last  table,  “Transportation  Charges,”  on 
page  15.  By  multiplying  the  weight  of  the  article  selected  by  the 


rate  given  in  that  table  you  will  arrive  at  a  close  estimate  of  what 
the  charges  will  amount  to.  (The  weight  of  every  article  in  the 
catalogue  is  given  in  the  description  of  the  article). 

BY  WAY  OF  ILLUSTRATION 

Suppose  you  were  living  in  Youngstown,  Ohio,  and  desired  to  purchase  our  No. 
20F-102  Bookcase.  You  will  find  Ohio  under  Eastern  States,  so  you  place  your 
finger  in  the  “East”  column  of  the  “Merchandise  Classification”  table  and  you  find 
that  Bookcases  are  lK  class  to  Youngstown,  Ohio,  which  means  the  rate  is  1  % 
times  the  regular  first-class  rate.  Now  find  Youngstown  in  the  table  of  “Transpor¬ 
tation  Charges”  and  you  find  that  the  first-class  rate  to  Youngstown  is  36  cents 
per  hundred  pounds.  Multiply  this  by  IK,  which  gives  54  cents  as  the  full  rate 
per  hundred  pounds  on  the  Bookcase. 


FREIGHT  RATES  FROM  DETROIT 

are  in  most  cases  lower  than  from  Chicago  and  where  they  are  not  lower 
they  are  the  same,  but  never  higher.  If  you  will  examine  our  table  of 
transportation  charges  printed  below,  and  make  comparison  with  freignt 
rates  from  Chicago,  you  will  be  thoroughly  convinced  that  Detroit  has  be¬ 
come  such  an  important  mail  tfrder  center  as  to  warrant  these  special 
low  rates.

THE  PEOPLE’S  EASY  WAY  TO  PAY  BOOK

AMERICA’S  LARGEST  HOME  FURNISHERM 

_ “IT’S  EASY  TO  PAY  THE  PEOPLE’S  WAY.” _ ijl  WAV 

You  may  furnish  your  Home  00unr  Liberal  Easy  Credit  Plan  ^ 


ANY  ARTICLE 


in  this  catalog  can  be  purchased  on  our  easy  credit  plan.  Below  we 
submit  our  table  of  easy  payments.  This  table  is  figured  out  on  such  a 
close  basis  that  it  represents  the  very  smallest  amount  that  we  can  accept  on  each 
transaction.  Understand,  you  can  pay  a  larger  amount  down  and  a  greater  sum  each 
month  than  the  table  of  easy  payments  calls  for,  if  you  so  desire,  but  under  no  circum¬ 


stances  can  we  accept  a  smaller  amount  than  that  named  in  the  table.  We  will  gladly  sell  any  goods  to  anybody, 
no  matter  where  he  lives  on  the  terms  quoted  below,  and  will  ship  goods  promptly  on  receipt  of  first  payment 

BEAR  IN  MIND  THAT  THE  FIRST  PAYMENT  AS  SHOWN  BELOW  MUST  ACCOMPANY  THE  ORDER. 

For  example,  the  goods  you  wish  to  purchase  amount  to  $10.00,  you  mail  us  the  first  payment,  namely  $1.50;  the 
balance  you  pay  at  the  rate  of  75c.  a  month.  The  amount  of  first  payment  and  the  monthly  installment  all 
depend  upon  the  amount  of  goods  you  wish  to  purchase.  First,  decide  upon  the  amount  you  wish  to  buy;  the 
table  of  terms  will  tell  you  the  rest. 

We  guarantee  to  undersell  your  local  dealer  and  every  other  merchant  who  requires  you  to  pay  all  cash  and  besides  we 
give  you  easy  terms  of  credit  that  allow  you  all  the  time  you  require  to  pay  for  your  goods. 

We  do  not  open  accounts  for  amounts  less  than  $5.00.  We  explain  to  you  on  another  page  why  it  will  pay  you  to  make 
your  order  amount  to  $5.00  or  more.  All  orders  under  $5.00  must  be  accompanied  with  cash.  We  present  below  our 
Table  of  Easy  Payments,  which  we  know  to  be  the  easiest  plan  of  payment  ever  offered  by  any  house  in  the  world

It  has  always  been  the  broad  and  liberal  policy  of  the  People’s  Outfitting  Co.  to  serve

FOR  CASH 

We  allow  5%  Discount  for  Cash.  By  closely  figuring  the  actual  difference  between 
operating  our  easy  •  way  ■  to  •  pay  system,  and  selling  goods  for  cash-in-full  at 
time  of  order,  we  find  that  it  is  less  than  five  (5)  cents  on  the  dollar  in  favor  of 
the  latter.

OFF 


TUEDCEftDC  a^ow  y°u  a  discount  of  five  (5)  per 

incncruncy  cent,  for  every  order  which  is  accompanied 
by  cash  in  full.  For  example:  If  you  should  order  our  5E-1 17  Chif¬ 
fonier,  which  is  listed  at  $35,  and  you  desire  to  pay  cash  in  full  for 
it,  you  may  deduct  5  per  cent,  or  $1.75,  and  send  us  the  $33.25. 

PACU  u/ ITU  ill  OH  TIJIVC  Furthermore,  we  will  allow 
UAdll  WIiniN  OU  UAlOi  you  a  discount  of  five  (5)  per 

cent  if  you  pay  your  account  in  full  within  thirty  (30)  days  from  date 
of  shipment.  We  realize  there  are  people  who  are  in  the  habit 
of  requiring  at  the  most  only  30  days  in  which  to  pay  up  an  account 
and  for  the  benefit  of  this  class  we  are  willing  to  allow  the  same 
discount  privilege  accorded  those  who  pay  in  full  at  time 
of  order.  For  example:  If  you  should  order  our  Chiffonier, 
listed  at  $35,  a  first  payment  of  $5.00  will  be  required, 
leaving  a  balance  of  $30,  to  be  paid  in  monthly  payments  of 
$2.50  each.  However,  if  at  the  end  of  30  days  you  can  afford  to  pay 
the  balance  in  full,  you  may  deduct  5  per  cent,  from  $35  or  $1.75, 
and  pay  us  the  balance  due,  $28.25. 

You  must  remember  that  whether  you 
pay  cash  in  full  with  order,  or,  whether 
you  take  advantage  of  our  Easy-Way-to-Pay  Credit  Plan, 
our  double  binding  guarantee  of  satisfaction  always  holds 
good.  You  may  order  with  the  distinct  understanding  and 
agreement  that  you  will  get  ALL  your  money  back  if  the 
purchase  made  does  not  come  up  to  your  expectations,  or  if  you 
feel  that  you  are  not  getting  the  greatest  value  for  your  money. 
You  may  return  the  goods  to  us  at  our  expense,  and  we  will  cheer¬ 
fully  send  you  other  goods  of  your  selection,  or,  we  will  return 
all  money  paid  by  you,  which  includes  freight  charges.  There  are 
absolutely  no  strings  to  this  liberal  offer.  ALL  your  money

back  if  you  are  not  satisfied,

There  is  a  reason  for  this  broad  and  liberal  policy  on  our 
part.  It  can  be  summed  up  in  one  word — Confidence. 
We  feel  confident  that  our  prices  and  our  goods  will  please  and 
satisfy  you.  We  court  the  closest  scrutiny,  we  invite  the  most 
rigid  comparisons.  We  ask  that  you  go  to  your  local  dealer  to 
examine  his  stock  and  get  his  prices,  for  we  will  then  know  that  you 
will  go  home  with  the  extreme  satisfaction  of  feeling  convinced 
that  you  have  received  the  most  for  your  money  from  the  People’s 
Outfitting  Co.  We  do  not  feel  satisfied  until  our  customers  dot 

5%  THE  ONLYDISCOUNT: 

or  $1,000,  the  only  discount 
we  can  allow  for  cash  in  full  with  order  is  five  (5)  per  cent. 

from  the  prices  quoted  in  our  catalogue.  This  is  the  only  concession 
we  possibly  can  make,  representing  as  it  does,  the  mere  cost  of 
handling  a  mail-order  credit  account.  In  the  city,  our  customers 
always  pay  the  same  prices  for  goods  on  the  cash  basis  as  those 
who  take  advantage  of  our  liberal  terms  of  credit,  and  positively, 
this  is  the  first  and  only  discount  from  our  regular  prices  we  have 
ever  allowed.  Our  margin  of  profit  is  already  so  low  that  to  allow 
more  than  a  discount  of  five  per  cent,  for  cash  would  be  doing 
business  at  a  practical  loss  to  us,  besides  impairing  our  ability  to 
give  the  greatest  satisfaction  to  our  customers.  By  actual  com¬ 
parison  you  will  find  that  our  prices  for  goods  on  credit  are  lower 
than  others  ask  for  Cash,  for  a  similar  grade  of  goods,  and  when 
we  allow  you  an  additional  five  per  cent,  for  cash-in-full, 
you  are  positively  getting  better  goods  at  much  lower  prices,  with 
freight  charges  added,  than  can  be  obtained  from  anyone  any¬ 
where  at  any  time.

We  wish  to  make  the  announcement  that  we  are  ready  to  supply  the  local  dealer  or  country  merchant  with  limited  orders  at 
the  regular  catalogue  prices,  less  five  (5)  per  cent,  discount  for  cash  within  thirty  (30)  days.  In  justice  to  our  rapidly  growing  retail 
trade,  that  vast  army  of  mail-order  buyers  who  actually  need  the  credit,  we  cannot  extend  to  you  the  same  terms  of  credit  but  must 
insist  upon  a  settlement  within  30  days  from  date  of  the  original  order.  Our  prices  are  so  low  that  you  will  find  them  in  hundreds 
of  cases  be^ow  that  of  the  manufacturers’  and  jobbers’  regular  prices,  and  we  guarantee  to  save  you  money  on  any  purchase 
made  from  us,  even  with  the  freight  charges  added.  Make  out  your  order  and  send  it  to  us.  We  will  then  let  you  know  if  we  can  fill 
all  or  part  of  the  order.  Wide-awake  local  dealers  and  country  merchants  will  not  fail  to  take  advantage  of  hundreds  of  our 
genuine  money-saving  bargains  at  less  than  cost  prices,  but  as  this  catalogue  is  gotten  up  primarily  for  the  benefit  of  our  out-of-town 
retail  customers,  we  shall  be  compelled  to  limit  the  size  of  the  orders  from  regular  dealers.

Plain  Cut  Velour

has  a  soft,  velvety  effect,  but  has  far  greater 
wearing  qualities  than  velvet,  being  of  a 
heavier  and  higher  weave.  The  body  colors 
of  the  cloth  are  dark  red  or  myrtle  green,  and  the  artistic  colorings  are  printed 
into  the  body  of  the  cloth  by  a  special  process,  which  makes  a  very  handsome 
as  w£ll  as  lasting  design. 

is  a  high  piled  fabric  woven  in  parallel  ridges  or  block  effects 
UOrUUlUy  instead  of  the  plain  surface,  such  as  velvet  or  velour  has.  It 

- s  comes  in  the  same  colors  as  the  latter,  but  it  is  a  heavier  grade 

'of  goods,  and  is  recommended  for  constant  daily  usage.  It  never  fails  to  give 
satisfaction. 

A  recently  invented  covering  for  upholstering  that 
has  been  found  to  possess  great  wearing  qualities, 

-  -  as  well  as  exceptional  beauty.  The  body  of  the 

cloth  is  of  the  prevailing  dark  red  or  myrtle  green  shades,  and  has  what  may 
be  termed  an  embossed  effect.  The  body  of  the  cloth  is  first  woven  in  fancy 
figure  effects,  and  into  this  is  woven  a  raised  figure  effect,  making  in  all  a  beauti¬ 
ful  cloth.  As  in  plush,  it  has  a  raised  nap  with  a  Terry  effect  background. 

One  of  the  most  luxurious  coverings  for  furniture  is 
English  Verona.  It  has  a  very  rich  appearance  and 
is  used  in  covering  the  higher  grades  of  upholstered 
furniture.  Has  a  long  nap  like  the  finest  plush,  with  a  rich  raised  figure  design. 
It  is  a  very  heavy  cloth  and  sure  to  please.  This  is  the  highest  grade  cloth 
covering,  but  it  will  prove  the  least  expensive  in  the  long  run,  as  it  will  out¬ 
last  all  the  others. 

Cillr  n^moelr  Universally  used  for  covering  parlor  suites,  fancy  chairs  and 
wllli  UcWlaSK  rockers.  It  is  a  very  stylish  fabric  and  at  the  same  time 

— '  very  serviceable.  It  is  woven  from  pure  silk  and  linen,  the 

latter  forming  the  back  only.  The  silk  used  is  dyed  before  being  woven,  thereby 
insuring  a  non-fading  color.  The  ground  work  is  usually  a  solid  color,  and  the 
floral  effects  are  woven  in  vari-colored  silks.  It  is  a  difficult  matter  to  describe 
the  colors,  and  the  customer  is  asked  to  indicate  one  of  the  general  colors:  deep 
red,  olive  green  and  light  brown. 

OpncIlAfl  Dlliclt  ^  strictly  high  grade  fabric.  Has  a  silky  nap  which 
UlUSflCU  I  lUSfl  adds  wonderfully  to  its  fine  appearance.  Very  rich  and 

-  ’  exceedingly  serviceable.  After  the  cloth  is  woven  the 

entire  piece  is  crushed,  which  brings  out  the  handsome  shaded  effects.  Comes 
in  green,  red  or  blue  colors. 

Dluelt  So  named  from  the  fact  that  it  is  generally  used  for  covering 
bell  rlUSn  railroad  car  seats  and  is  naturally  a  great  wear  and  tear

or  myrtle  green  colors.

furniture.  It  is  very  soft  and  smooth  and,  as  its  name  indicates, 
pure  silk  enters  into  its  composition.  It  has  good  wearing 


DrAAofAlla  Outside  of  the  leather  coverings,  brocateile  is  the  most  ex- 
DlUvClTcllC  pensive  of  the  fabrics.  The  reason  is,'  it  possesses  the  beauty 

-  of  a  finely  woven,  vari-coiored,  richly  designed  cloth,  and  at 

the  same  time  it  is  so  strong  and  tough  that  it  wears*  like  leather;  in  fact,  its 
wearing  quality  is  almost  equal  to  leather.  In  texture  it  resembles  tapestry, 
and  it  is  adorned  with  slightly  raised  figures  upon  a  solid-color  back-ground. 

I  AofltAV  U*10  ^est  substitute  for  genuine  leather,  which  it  closely 
vlldwC  UCdlllCI  resembles.  It  will  not  crack,  peel  or  wear  rough,  and 
'  _  in  wearing  quality  is  really  superior  to  leather,  unless 

the  latter  is  the  real  No.  1.  For  these  reasons  we  recommend  Chase  leather 
as  a  covering  for  furniture  that  must  stand  hard  wear,  in  case  the  purchaser 
docs  not  care  to  pay  the  price  of  genuine  No.  1  leather.  Boston  leather  is  not 
quite  so  expensive  but  very  similar  to  Chase  leather. 


Genuine  Leather 


About  the  Colors 


The  genuine  leather  used  in  covering  our  upholstered 
furniture  is  the  real  guaranteed  No.  1  and  no  other. 
It  is  hand-buffed  No.  1,  not  No.  2  or  No.  3.  It  has 
always  been  the  policy  of  the  People’s  to  offer  only  the  best  grade  of  goods, 
and  as  there  is  no  better  covering  material  in  the  world  than  our  No.  1  genuine 

hand-buffed  leather,  you  may  be-,  sure  of  getting  it  every  time  it  is  ordered.  We 

will  cheerfully  refund  the  money  and  pay  the  freight  charges  both  ways  if  this 
is  proven  otherwise  than  as  represented. 

Be  sure  to  state  color  of  upholstering  desired. 
We  can  furnish  any  standard  color.  Red  and 
Green  are  the  best  colors  in  Velours,  Corduroy, 
and  Verona  coverings,  and  the  colors  universally  desired. 

flliolltu  We  guarantee  every  piece  of  upholstered  furniture  that  leaves  our 
bUaillY  warehouses.  Our  aim  is  to  supply  not  only  the  very  latest  styles 
*  *  and  designs,  but  also  to  supply  goods  that  we  are  certain  you  will 

find  perfect  in  construction.  The  highest  grade  of  wood,  the  finest  steel  and  the 

best  upholstering  material  are  other  points  of  superiority  in  our  furniture.  In 
other  words,  quality  is  our  first  and  last  consideration.  You  may  readily  see  that 
while  you  may  be  offered  upholstered  goods  elsewhere  that  resemble  somewhat 
in  design  the  merchandise  we  sell  and  probably  at  the  same  prices,  the  same 
degree  of  quality  cannot  possibly  be  furnished  because  the  various  features  of 
the  superior  construction  of  our  couches,  davenports,  lounges,  Morris  chairs,  etc., 
are  fully  covered  by  patents,  and  while  other  dealers  may  imitate  our  designs 
in  detail,  you  cannot  obtain  from  them  such  exceptionally  fine  merchandise-  at 
anywhere  near  our  prices. 

A1IH  Cnavimaiim  CIaaL  We  carry  the  very  largest  and  most  com- 

UUr  enormous  OTOGK  plete  stock  of  all  kinds  of  upholstered  furni- 

'  1  * -  1  ture,  of  any  concern  on  earth.  Our  stock 

is  three  times  as  large  as  any  general  mail-order  house  that  sells  “everything 
under  the  sun.”  We  sell  home  furnishings  only. 

The  designs  of  our  upholstered  furniture  are  the  latest  and  most  artistic 
creations  from  the  world’s  biggest  and  best  factories. 

Each  season  finds  us  with  a  complete  new  stock.  No  “left-over”  goods  ever 
remain  in  this  establishment.  We  sell  our  merchandise  so  quickly  that  you  can 
depend  upon  getting  from  us  the  very  newest  and  most  up-to-date  goods  at  any 
time  of  the  year. 

Bearing  in  mind  the  superior  construction  of  our 
upholstered  furniture,  by  a  thorough  and  close  com¬ 
parison  you  will  find  that  our  prices  are  from  25 
to  45  per  cent,  lower  than  those  of  any  other  dealer.  Mind  you,  cheaper  pieces 
might  be  offered  you,  but  they  must  be  cheap — cheap  price — cheap  construction 
■ — cheap  upholstering — cheap  wood — cheap  finish. 

Even  the  designs,  though  copied  after  our  celebrated  “Gold  Medal  Brand” 

styles,  will  be  cheap  imitations.  The  unusually  low  prices  at  which  we  are  able 

to  offer  our  upholstered  goods  are  evidence  of  our  powerful  purchasing  force  that 
causes  wise  manufacturers  to  give  us  respectful  attention  when  we  approach  them 
with  propositions  to  take  their  factories’  entire  out-put  for  many  seasons.  Think 
what  this  means!  Think  of  having  a  sure  market  for  all  your  products — no 
worry,  no  salesmen,  no  commissions,  no  salaries,  no  middlemen  or  jobbers  to 
cater  to.  Is  it  any  wonder  that  we  are  able  to  obtain  the  greatest  concessions 
in  the  way  of  low  cost  price?.  Thus  it  is  that  we  are  able  to  offer  our  goods 

to  you  at  the  same  prices  that  other  dealers  must  pay  at  the  factory;  in  other 

words,  we  offer  you  goods  at  the  wholesale  price. 

We  hereby  quarantee  each  and  every  article  in  the  de¬ 
partment  of  upholstered  furniture  to  be  absolutely  per- 

■'  "  . .  feet,  to  be  just  as  represented,  and  to  be  the  greatest 

money  value  in  the  world.  We  bind  ourselves  to  refund  your  first  payment  and 
all  freight  charges  you  may  have  paid  on  any  purchase  that  does  not  prove  satis¬ 
factory.  We  give  you  the  privilege  of  taking  the  article  purchased  into  your

THE  PEOPLE’S  EASY  WAY  TO  PAY  BOOK

We  herewith  present  to  the  public  of  this  country  our  new  line  of  magnificent  Gold  Medal  Brand  Davenports,  representing  a 
most  wonderful,  new  and  improved  system  of  high  grade  construction. 

Giant  strides  in  the  manufacture  of  Gold  Medal  Brand  Davenports  have  recently  been  made— remarkable  improvements  and 
alterations  effected  in  manufacturing  processes.  New  designs  and  new  creations  representing  a  combination  of  quality,  beauty 
and  sturdy  construction  have  been  perfected,  the  equal  of  which  have  never  before  been  approached.  Look  at  the  magnificent, 
richly  upholstered  Davenports  illustrated  and  described  on  the  following  pages — read  the  descriptions  and  study  the  remarkable, 
new  construction  and  you  will  be  quickly  and  firmly  convinced  that  these  wonderfully  improved  and  exceptionally  well  made, 
beautiful  Davenports  are  by  far  the  most  sensational  values  ever  offered. 

Here  Are  Some  “Reasons  Why” 


In  contracting  the  exclusive  agency  for  the  famous  line  of  Gold  Medal  Brand  Davenports  we  agreed  to  dispose  of  the  entire  output  of  these 
goods  from  the  big  factory.  To  sell  so  many,  we  realize  that  even  though  they  are  far  superior  to  any  others  on  the  market,  they  must  be 
offered  in  competition  with  the  cheap  grades  sold  by  so  many  mail-order  houses.  We  are  determined  therefore  to  place  these  magnificent 
Davenports  in  the  homes  of  our  customers  at  as  low  or  even  lower  prices  than  is  generally  paid  for  common  grades.  By  making  them  up  in 

enormous  quantities  we  save  considerably  in  the  cost  of  manufacture; 
and  with  improved  machinery  and  equipment  we  are  turning  out 
these  luxurious  Davenport  Bed  Sofas  at  minimum  cost.  We  will 
undoubtedly  sell  thousands  upon  thousands  of  them  during  the  en¬ 
suing  year.  They  are  listed  on  the  fol¬ 
lowing  pages  at  the  lowest  factory  prices. 


The  Above  Illustration  Shows 


This  Picture  Shows  How  Davenport 


The  Improved  Interior  Construction 


A  most  important  point  to  be  taken  into  consideration  when 
buying  a  Davenport  is  the  interior  construction.  Upon  this  point 
depends  the  life  of  the  Davenport.  With  the  improved  Sanitary  con¬ 
struction  of  the  new  Gold  Medal  Brand  Davenports  their  wearing 
quality  is  practically  doubled.  The  upholstering  throughout  is  sup¬ 
ported  by  special  spring  construction  and  braced  with  steel.  A  net 
work  of  oil  tempered,  spiral  steel  springs  gives  elasticity  and  per¬ 
manency  to  the  upholstering.  Heavy  duck  canvas  is  placed  over  the 
springs.  Above  the  canvas  comes  the  soft  deep  tow  with  cotton  top 
filling,  and  upon  this  the  heavy  rich  covering  is  thoroughly  tufted. 
The  tufting  is  even  and  perfect  and  each  tuft  is  held  permanently  in 
place  by  the  double  pronged  steel  tufting  buttons. 

For  Storing  Bedding.  A  compartment  beneath  seat  is  provided 
for  the  storage  of  bed  clothes.  The  frames  throughout  represent  the 
finest  cabinet  work,  and  the  choice  wmods  show  to  wonderful  advan¬ 
tage  the  beautiful  wavy  grain  and  flake  through  the  clear,  rich  finish. 
A  beautiful  polish  is  given  to  the  wood  work  and  with  the  luxurious 
upholstery  the  completed  Davenports  present  a  most  elegant  appear¬ 
ance.  There  is  something  distinctive  about  Gold  Medal  Brand  furni¬ 
ture — a  touch  of  style  and  elegance  not  possessed  by  other  makes. 
This  is  the  kind  of  furniture  people  want,  and  now  that  we  are  able  to 
supply  it  at  even  less  cost  than  you  would  have  to  pay  elsewhere  for 
undesirable  goods,  we  feel  confident  of  your  continued  patronage. 


The  new  improved  patent  device  for  instantly  transforming 
these  Davenports  into  full  size  beds  is  pronounced  by  experts  to  be 
by  far  the  simplest  and  best  in  use.  All  that  is  necessary  to  do  is  to 
raise  the  seat  up  until  the  ratchets  click.  As  the  seat  raises  the  back 
lowers  itself  simultaneously  and  automatically.  The  seat  is  then 
lowered  and  you  have  a  full  size  bed.  To  reverse  this  operation,  that 
is,  to  transform  the  bed  into  a  Davenport  again,  simply  raise  the  seat 
until  ratchets  click,  then  bear  down  on  seat  and  the  back  will 
raise  into  position,  the  seat  automatically  lowering  itself.  There  are 
no  strings  to  pull  and  when  the  two  changes  are  made  there  is  no 
pushing  and  pulling  in  order  to  get  every  part  in  its  proper  position. 
A  child  of  ten  years  can  operate  one  of  our  Gold  Medal  Brand  Daven¬ 
ports  with  ease.  When  made  into  a  bed,  as  shown  in  the  illustration 
above,  you  have  a  full  head  and  foot  end  bed,  same  as  any  regular 
bed.  No  home  is  complete  without  one  of  these  Davenports,  for  even 
when  not  in  use  as  a  bed  its  roomy  wardrobe  may  be  used  for  storage 
purposes,  and  nothing  about  its  makeup  as  a  Davenport  would  indi¬ 
cate  that  it  could  be  used  as  a  bed.  It  is  a  large,  luxuriously  uphol¬ 
stered  Sofa  which  can  at  a  moment’s  notice  be  transformed  into  a 
full  size  comfortable  bed.  It  serves  a  double  purpose  most  admirably 
and  is  a  most  popular  article  of  furniture.  You  take  no  chances  when 
you  order  the  famous  Gold  Medal  Brand  kind  and  you  get  with  it  our 
double  binding  guarantee.

This  handsome,  strictly  high  grade  five-piece 
parlor  suite,  consisting  of  1  sofa,  1  arm  chair,  1  arm 
rocker  and  two  parlor  chairs,  is  made  of  specially

are  asking  as  high  as  $35  for  this  suite  covered  in 
Figured  Velour.  Note  particularly  the  beautiful 
carving,  all  done  by  hand,  and  the  handsomely

lion  heads.  These  lion  heads  are  carved  out  of 

solid  wood.'  The 
backs  are  excep¬ 
tionally  high  and 
broad,  and  the  arm 
rocker  is  fitted

The  Best  For  Your  Money  ™« »«■>,>»■ 


tionably  the 
most  exquisitely  beautiful  parlor  suite  ever  offered 
at  the  price;  the  beautiful  wood,  the  be.-uitiful  finish, 
and  the  beautiful  upholstering  prove  that.  But 
that  is  not  all  to  be  considered  in  making  your  choice. 
You  must  guard  against  flimsy  construction.  You 
can  get  a  merely  “pretty”  parlor  suite  almost  any¬ 
where,  and  many  offer  them  at  low  prices;  but  you 
are  of  necessity  taking  chances  on  the  quality. 
Quality  means  much  in  a  parlor  suite.  You  want 
something  that  is  useful  as  well  as  ornamental — 
a  parlor  suite  that  will  stand  up  under  real  hard 
usage.  Our  fine  “Fashion”  parlor  suites  are  all 
made  with  extra  heavy  strong  frames;  all  joints 
are  perfectly  mortised  and  joined.  The  uphols-  , 
tering  is  decidedly  rich  and  decorative  and  of  su¬ 
perior  quality.

The  frames  are  all  new 
for  this  season.  They  are 
extra  strong,  built  of  select  northern  birch 
and  finished  in  a  perfect  imitation  of  ma¬ 
hogany,  which  is  guaranteed  to  wear  as  well 
as  genuine  mahogany.  Each  piece  is  of  an 
extremely  beautiful  uniform  design,  pro¬ 
fusely  adorned  with  rich  hand  carving.  Remem¬ 
ber,  each  piece  is  made  extra  strong,  reinforced  at 
every  joint,  and  should  not,  in  point  of  style, 
workmanship  and  finish ,  be  compared  to  the  cheap 
frames  with  which  the  market  is  flooded  by 
other  dealers.  This  suite  is  beautifully  upholstered. 
Furnished  in  various  colorings;  please  state 
our  preference .  This  material  is  of  the  very 
est  grade  of  the  finest  weave,  and  posi¬ 
tively  wears  better  than  all  other  covering 
material  furnished  by  other  dealers.  We 
personally  inspect  each  and  every  suite 
that  enters  or  leaves  our  stores  and  ware¬ 
houses,  and  we  are  very  particular  about 
the  quality  of  the  covering  material. 

We  safeguard  the  purchaser  at  every  turn. 

The  interior  construction  is  the  same  as  in  our  other 
high  grade  upholstered  fusniture.  Only  the  high  grade, 
tested,  oil  tempered  steel  wire  springs  are  used,  and 
these  are  so  securely  attached  and  interlaced  with  one 
another  that  for  one  to  get  loose  is  next  to  impossible. 

this  suite  is  20  per  cent,  lower  than  the 
same  quality  goods  can  be  bought  from  any 
other  concern  in  the  United  States.  We  have  secured  the 
choicest  new  designs  for  the  coming  year  by  placing  our  order 
a  month  early.  By  this  stroke  we  secured  the  goods  at  a  big 
discount  in  price. 

A  certain  manufacturer’s  representative  came  to 
us  with  a  proposition  to  keep  their  factory  running 
full  time,  commencing  30  days  earlier  than  usual. 

We  drew  up  a  contract  in  which  it  was  agreed  that 
the  goods  were  to  be  made  according  to  our  own 
exacting  specifications  and  must  be  up  to  our  high¬ 
est  standard  of  “  Fashion  ”  quality.  This  extra 
well  made,  beautifully  designed,  strong,  substantial 
parlor  suite  at  a  lower  price  than  others  charge  for 
the  ordinary  kind  is  a  fair  sample  of  how  we  can, 
with  our  great  outlet  through  our  big  stores  and 
our  immense'mail  order  house,  dictate  our  own  prices 
to  the  manufacturers,  and  consequently  give  our 
customers  better  goods  for  less  money  than  they 
can  hope  to  secure  elsewhere.

An  Up-to-date  “Art  Style”  Model 

This  Elegant  Five -Piece  Parlor  Suite  con¬ 
forms  in  every  detail  with  the  most  rigorous 
demands  of  fashion.  It  was  constructed  especially 
for  us  with  an  idea  of  containing  the  greatest  value 
for  $44.00  of  any  suite  possible  to  retail  at  that 
price.  The  finished  suite  fulfilled  our  most  san¬ 
guine  expectations  and  we  take  great  pleasure  in 
recommending  this  splendid  parlor  suite  to  your 
careful  consideration .

Utility,  comfort  and  beauty  are  the 
three  standards  by  which  to  measure  the 
merit  of  any  piece  of  furniture.  This 
five  piece  suite,  consisting  of  a  sofa,  arm 
rocker,  arm  chair  and  two  parlor  chairs, 
combines  all  of  these  qualities  in  the 
highest  degree. 

To  give  an  accurate  and  full  descrip¬ 
tion  of  the  truly  gorgeous  beauty  of  this 

five-piece  parlor  suite  more  than  one 
page  would  be  necessary,  but  lack  of 
space  not  permitting  it,  we  can  only 
call  attention  to  the  most  salient  fea¬ 
tures  and  even  that  beyond  doubt,  will 
tend  to  show  the  enormous  bargain 
value  of  this  splendid  offering.  The 
frames  are  made  from  thoroughly  sea¬ 
soned  fine  grained  birch  mahogany, 
brilliantly  finished  to  a  mirroi-like  sur¬ 
face.  The  workmanship  is  faultless, 
being  the  product  of  the  most  skilled 
workmen  employed  by  furniture  manu¬ 
facturers.  The  design  is  distinctly 
original,  with  artistic  hand  carving, 
hand  tufted  backs, and  high  arms,  claw 
feet,  in  short  a  more  substantial  and 
comfortable  parlor  suite  would  be  hard 
to  find. 

The  seat  of  each  piece  is  extra  wide  and  com¬ 
fortable  and  is  fitted  with  a  full  spring  edge  and 
deep  front.  It  is  filled  with  an  ample  number 
of  tested,  highly  tempered  steel  springs,  firmly 
bound  and  secured  by  a  special  patent  process, 
which  guarantees  any  spring  from  getting  loose 
and  ruining  the  steel  spring  construction.  They 
are  covered  with  best  quality  heavy  canvas. 

The  backs  are  deeply  hand  tufted,  each  tuft 
being  securely  fastened  with  metal  buttons. 

We  give  you  choice  of  eight  styles  of  coverings 
as  per  price  schedule  below,  and  we  tate  em¬ 
phatically  that  better,  prettier,  more  substantial 
coverings  do  not  exist,  and  to  protect  yourself 
against  fraud  we  would  strongly  urge  you  to  order 
this  suite  from  the  “People’s.”  These  coverings 
are  of  the  very  finest  weaves,  of  the  most  approved 
patterns  and  most  popular  styles.  The  leather 
coverings  are  especially  handsome  and  wear- 
resisting. 

One  great  consideration  in  purchasing  a  parlor 
suite  is  that  you  expect  to  purchase  but  one  in 
a  lifetime.  It  therefore  behooves  you  to  purchase 
a  good  one,  of  well-known  merits,  and  one  that 
will  last  you  a  lifetime.  We  absolutely  guarantee 
that  the  one  herewith  offered  will  not  disappoint 
you  in  any  particular.  If  you  ever  intended 
getting  a  parlor  suite  here  is  an  opportunity  of 
getting  a  good  one  at  a  price  your  local  dealer 
will  charge  you  for  one  of  inferior  quality.  W aste 
no  time  in  experimenting.  Order  this  suite  and 
pay  for  it  at  your  leisure  while  you  use  it.  Ship¬

This  magnificent  “Art-Style”  parlor  suite  must 
be  seen  to  be  fully  appreciated.  It  is  impossible 
to  reproduce  the  lustre  and  beauty  which  makes 
this  suite  fitted  to  grace  the  home  of  the  most 
artistically  inclined;  the  detailed  description 
furnished  can  give  but  a  faint  idea  of  the  mar¬ 
velous  value  here  offered.  Positively,  this  is, 
without  the  slightest  shadow  of  a  doubt,  the 
most  beautiful  and  substantial  parlor  suite  ever 
offered  by  any  house  at  anything  like  our  price, 
or  prices,  in  the  various  grades. 


No-  9F-I57  affix's 

order.  Character,  Tone  and  Quality— 
these  are  highly  developed  in  this 
5-piece  Parlor  Suite. 


Beautiful  ho.nd  carvings,  massive  construction, 
high  polish  and  excellence  of  detail  characterize  this 
parlor  suite.  The  profuse  carvings  dis¬ 
play  the  work  of  the  master  hand,  each 
line  and  curve  is  clean-cut  and  distinct, 
following  a  design  that  is  unsurpassed 
for  originality  and  beauty. 

When  we  state  that  the  construction 
of  this  suite  is  solid  we  mean  that  it  is 
built  with  a  view  of  holding  the  great¬ 
est  weights  and  to  be  equal  to  any  de¬ 
mands  made  upon  it  at  any  time.  The 
frames  are  made-from  thoroughly  sea¬ 
soned,  fine  grained  birch  mahogany, 
with  a  piano  polish  finish.  This  piano 
finish  is  not  merely  laid  on,  but  each 
piece  is  hand  rubbed  and  polished  until 
the  ^urface  shines  with  the  greatest 
brilliancy,  rivaling  the  highest  grade 
French  mirror.  This  polish  will  prac¬ 
tically  last  forever,  needing  only  a  cov¬ 
ering  of  furniture  oil  to  renew  its  1  istre 
after  long  service. 

The  interior  construction,  after  all,  is  probably 
of  the  greatest  importance  in  the  making  o  up¬ 
holstered  furniture.  A  richly  carved,  handso  nely 
designed  massive  frame  or  exterior  is  practically 
worthless  unless  the  interior,  the  spring  work  and 
the  filling,  is  also  of  the  finest  quality.  The  in¬ 
terior  construction  of  this  elegant  parlor  suite  is 
just  exactly  what  you  would  expect  it  to  be — 
first  class  in  every  detail,  no  stinting  or  curtailing, 
but  the  best  material  in  full  quantity,  such  as  the 
requisite  number  of  high  tension,  highly  elastic 
steel  springs  covered  with  heavy  canvas,  and 
finest  quality  filling,  thereby  producing  a  full 
spring  seat  and  edge  unequalled  for  comfort  and 
durability. 

As  to  coverings  you  may  exercise  your  own 
choice  and  select  according  to  price  list  appended 
below.  It  will  be  noted  that  there  is  compara¬ 
tively  slight  difference  between  the  cost  of  the 
parlor  suite  covered  with  fancy  figured  velour 
and  our  next  grade  covering,  and  so  on  up  the 
line  until  you  reach  the  Genuine  Leather  covering. 
It  will  be  further  noted  that  there  is  only  $3.50 
difference  required  as  the  first  payment  on  this 
parlor  suite  covered  with  Figured  velour  and 
one  covered  with  our  genuine  leather  covering, 
while  in  the  matter  of  monthly  payments  there  is 
a  difference  of  a  dollar  and  a  quarter.  In  order¬ 
ing  be  sure  to  state  style  and  color  of  covering 
desired  and  always  give  catalogue  number  of 
selection.  Shipping  weight,  200  pounds.

down  by  hand  and  allowed  to  thoroughly 
dry  and  harden  before  putting  on  the  suc¬ 
ceeding  one.  By  merely  going  over  it  with 
a  woolen  cloth  this  polish  finish  may

;as  cheap  as  you  should  dare  buy  a  parlor  suite 


It  is  impossible  for  any  factory  to  make  a  reliable  and 
substantial  parlor  suite  to  sell  for  less  than  $10.75;  and  if  you 
find  one  quoted  any  where  at  a  lower  price  you  can  rest 
assured  that  quality  has  been  sacrificed.  We  make  these 
suites  in  the  largest  and  best  equipped  furniture  factory  in 
Michigan  and  offer  them  to  you  at  bare  cost  of  production 
plus  our  one  small  margin  of  profit. 

The  frames  are  solidly  constructed  of  birch  mahogany, 
splendidly  finished.  The  sofa  and  arm  chair  have  high, 
comfortable  arms,  with  a  full  sweep  and  firmly  braced.  The 
legs  are  exceptionally  strong  and  castered.  The  interior  con¬ 
struction  is  the  equal  of  that  furnished  in  parlor  suites  sold 
elsewhere  at.  double  our  figure.  It  consists  of  an 
ample  number  of  oil  tempered  steel  springs  firmly 
secured  and  interlaced  with  one  another  to  guaran¬ 
tee  against  breakdown.  These  are  covered  with 
best  grade  heavy  duck  canvas. 

Coverings.  We  furnish  this  3-piece  parlor  suite 
in  a  variety  of  coverings.'  (See  price  list  below.) 
These  are  of  the  very  best  weaves  in  the  various 
grades  and  should  by  no  means  be  compared  to 
the  shoddy  stuff  furnished  by  other  dealers  whose 
aim  is  to  create  a  sensational  price  rather  than  to 
give  value.  In  ordering  be  sure  to  indicate  choice  of 
covering,  state  color  wanted  and  always  give  cata¬ 
logue  number.  Shipping  weight,  100  pounds.

and  busts  are  so  artistically  designed  and  so  carefully  executed  by  hand  that  the  finished  effect  cannot  be  appreciated  simply  by  looking  at  the  picture  and 
reading  the  description.  Order  this  suite  and  take  it  into  your  home  where  you  can  appreciate  its  splendor,  then  if  you  don’t  say  it’s  the  finest  you  ever  saw,

No.  9L-202.  The  massive  frame  and  rich  finish  of  this  elegant  Gold  Medal 
Brand  suite  bespeak  supreme  quality.  The  magnificent  design  is  one  of  the 
newest  and  most  attractive  ever  produced;  and  for  practical  use  this  parlor  suite 
cannot  be  excelled  at  any  cost.  With  so  many  points  of  superiority  it  is  no 
wonder  that  this  suite  is  so  extremely  popular.  It  is  so  well  made  that  it  will 
last  for  generations  and  so  handsome  that  it  will  greatly  ornament  the  finest 
parlor.  The  illustration  will  give  you  a  faint  idea  of  its  rare  beauty,  but  the 
suite  itself  will  prove  far  more  beautiful  than  the  picture  can  possibly  indicate. 
The  frames  are  especially  well  constructed  from  birch  mahogany,  hand  rubbed 
and  polished  to  a  mirror-like  brilliancy.  Beautiful  outlines,  graceful  curves,  ele¬ 
gant  extra  heavy  French  legs  and  rich  hand  carved  claw  feet  are  the  prominent 
features  that  are  at  once  noticed  and  that  attract  the  attention  of  and  are  admired 


by  the  most  critical  observer.  The  massive  rich  outlines  of  this  suite  give 
it  the  appearance  of  those  usually  sold  at  very  high  prices.  The  seat  of  each 
piece  has  a  steel  spring  foundation,  which  supports  the  richly  upholstered  loose 
cushions.  These  cushions  have  most  dependable  filling  and  the  coverings  are  the 
finest  made.  Cushions  are  fastened  to  frame  by  beautiful  silken  cords  with  hand¬ 
some  tassels.  3ee  table  below  for  the  different  kinds  of  upholstering,  and  prices. 
This  is  the  very  latest  style- — anything  more  elegant  cannot  be  imagined. 
We  especially  recommend  green  crushed  or  silk  plush  for  the  covering.  We  take 
particular  pains  in  crating  and  packing,  so  that  it  will  reach  your  home  in  as 
perfect  condition  as  it  leaves  the  finishing  room  of  our  factory.  In  ordering  be 
sure  to  state  upholstering  and  the  color  you  want.  Shipping  weight  about  175 
pounds.

Description 


Massive  mahog¬ 
any  finished 

rocker  has  a  solid  base,  exceedingly  strong  and  it  is  built  according  to  the  most 
approved  model  of  platform  rockers.  The  entire  frame  is  made  extra  heavy  and 
its  lines  are  of  the  most  graceful  type.  The  seat  is  equipped  with  heavy  tempered 
steel  coil  springs  over  which  is  placed  the  deep  upholstering  in  the  most  workman¬ 
like  manner.  cThe  deep  tufting  is  magnificently  executed  and  the  beautifully  ruffled 
front  perfects  the  charm  and  style  of  this  rocker.  The  seat  is  extra  wide  and  deep; 
the  arms  and  back  are  high  and  the  cushions  unusually  soft.  The  upholstering 
is  of  the  most  dependable  and  lasting  materials  and  the  covering  throughout  is  of 
the  very  finest  and  heaviest  grade  ol  Sultan  Leather,  which  will  wear  better  than  the 
average  grade  of  hide  leather.  Out  patent  double  prong  never-come-loose  tufting 
buttons  are  used  in  the  upholstering  of  this  rocker.  The  extra  heavy  “  Pullman” 
top  and  the  deeply  cushioned  sides  are  crowning  points  of  comfort  and  beauty  in  an 
upholstered  rocker  and  are  carried  out  to  perfect  effect  in  this  article.  In  fact,  there 
is  no  detail  of  its  construction  that  does  not  show  superb  quality  and  careful  work¬ 
manship.  The  beautifully  finished  base  is  highly  polished,  and  is  the  only  wood 
work  showing,  the  balance  of  the  frame  being  entirely  covered  with  the  deep  rich 
upholstering.  Shipping  weight,  75  pounds.

THE  PEOPLE’S  EASY  WAY  TO  PAY  BOOK 


41 


“LIKE  A  DESERT  WITHOUT  AN  OASIS”  is  a  house  without 
books.  Now,  books  immediately  suggest  a  bookcase  of  some  kind. 
Should  it  be  merely  a  book-case,  or,  should  it  be  the  combination  of 
a  desk  and  bookcase,  for,  as  necessary  as  is  the  latter,  a  desk  is  of 
equal  importance.  In  this  age  of  cheap  postage  and  universal 
education  everybody  writes  letters,  and  everybody  reads  books. 
The  question  of  either  providing  a  separate  bookcase  for  the  books, 
a  separate  desk  for  your  correspondence,  or  a  combination  desk 
and  bookcase  for  both,  is  a  matter  to  be  decided  by  yourself  only. 


We  consider  that  every  customer  who  cannot  call  and  who 
intrusts  us  with  an  order  by  mail  is  entitled  to  nothing  less  than 
the  very  best  values. 

WE  KNOW  OUR  GOODS.  We  know  our  goods  in  the  same 
manner  that  we  know  our  friends.  We  have  studied  the  construc¬ 
tion,  design,  finish  and  material  of  which  our  goods  are  made,  and 
we  believe  we  have  arrived  at  a  perfect  system  of  selection  insuring 
the  very  best  quality,  which  our  enormous  buying  capacity  enables 
us  to  purchase  cheaply  and  sell  to  you  at  prices  that  are  right. 


REMEMBER,  we  know  the  construction, 
and  we  know  that  it  is  the  best  work  of  the 
American  cabinet  maker.  This  alone  is 
sufficient  to  recommend  it.  But  when  we 
come  to  style  or  design  we  guarantee  it  to  be 
the  product  of  the  brains  of  the  highest  paid 
designers  in  the  world.  Now  what  is  the 
result?  We  have  an  article  that  will  remain

This  is  a  wonderful  offer. 

Why?  .  .  , 

Because  the  price  of  this  splendid  ladies  desk 
should  be  double  what  we  ask. 

If  we,  the  World’s  Largest  Home  Furnishers,  had 
to  pay  for  this  desk  what  the  regular  dealer  is  com¬ 
pelled  to  pay,  we  could  not  possibly  afford  to  offer 
it  for  the  above  figure  without  losing  money. 

You  can  now  easily  judge  what  a  great  bargain 
this  is. 

Bear  in  mind — just  because  the  price  is  low  don’t 
think  for  a  moment  the  quality  is  inferior. 

We  guarantee  this  desk  to  be  perfectly  made  and 
we  back  up  this  guarantee  v/ith  all  our  resources. 

This  desk  is  made  of  carefully  selected  solid  oak 
with  a  golden  finish. 

The  workmen  employed  in  the  factory  where  this 
desk  is  made  are  experts. 

Long  experience  and  high  intelligence  in  our  work¬ 
men  insures  perfection  in  every  detail  of  the  work, 

Nothing  is  “slopped”  over.  Every  joint  and  tenon 
fits  perfectly;  every  nail  and  screw  runs  true. 

We  have  absolute  faith  in  our  workmen.  That  is 
why  we  have  such  great  confidence  in  the  superiority 
of  our  goods.  , 

The  high  praise  which  this  desk,  forvcxample,  con¬ 
tinually  receives  from  people  who  are  competent  to 
judge,  justifies  our  faith  in  our  workmen. 

Just  think!  Despite  this  extra  low  price — $6.75 — 
we  will  give  you  almost  a  year  in  which  to  pay  for  it. 

Surely,  this  gives  you  all  the  time  you  want  to  pay 
for  what  you  buy— at  the  People's  Outfitting  Co.

an  immeasurable  amount  of  energy.  This  means  nothing  less  than  a  preservation  of  health,  the  prolongation  of  life  and  an  increase  in  happiness  and  the  joy 
of  living.  Does  this  mean  anything  to  you?  Can  you  realize  the  urgent  necessity  of  an  “Economy”  Kitchen  Cabinet? 


The  “Economy”  Kitchen  Cabinet 

is  just  as  necessary  for  the  proper  and  quick  execution  of  cooking 
and  housekeeping  as  is  the  desk  in  the  office  of  the  business  man 
and  the  latter  should  no  more  expect  his  wife  to  do  without  a 
kitchen  cabinet  than  he  would  be  expected  to  dispense  with  the 
use  of  his  desk. 

Every  Woman,  in  Justice  to  Herself 

should  demand  an  “Economy”  Kitchen  Cabinet  Self-interest 


demands  it.  Economy  demands  it.  Banish  drudgery  from  your 
home.  Spend  less  time  in  the  hot,  stuffy  kitchen  and  more  in  the 
parlor,  if  you  will.  Did  you  ever  realize  that  you  walk  on  an 
average  of  to  1  mile  in  the  preparation  of  a  single  meal,  that  you 
probably  duplicate  and  triplicate  this  after  the  meal  is  over  ?  Did 
you  ever  realize  what  this  means  in  the  preparation  of  three  meals 
during  the  day,  21  meals  during  the  week,  etc?  Now,  if  we  should 
guara  ntee  to  cut  this1  ‘walking-bill’  ’  in  half  by  means  of  an"  Economy”

The  “Economy”  Kitchen  Cabinet? 

You  will  never  realize  the  endless  number  of 
articles  that  can  be  stored  in  an  “Economy” 
Kitchen  Cabinet  until  you  try  to  fill  it  your¬ 
self.  It  will  not  only  hold  everything  needed 
in  the  kitchen  work  in  the  preparation  of  the 
meals,  but 


THE  BEAUTY  OF  IT  IS 

that  it  can  be  placed  at  a  convenient  distance 
from  the  stove  so  that  everything  needed  in 
the  work  may  be  within  arm’s  reach  without 
the  slightest  loss  of  time  or  energy.  Each 
cabinet  is  provided  with  large  bins  and  many 
drawers;  ample  cupboard  room  for  food  sup¬ 
plies  and  cooking  utensils,  and  many  other 
conveniences  too  numerous  to  mention.  It 
occupies  no  larger  floor  space  than  the  ordin¬ 
ary  kitchen  table,  which  can  be  dispensed 
with,  while  in  a  large  part  it  takes  the  place  of 
the  pantry  or  cupboard. 

The  “Economy”  Kitchen  Cabinets 

are  positively  the  best  on  the  market,  in  their 
various  grades,  in  point  of  usefulness,  dura¬ 
bility,  construction  and  finish.  They  are 
made  especially  for  us  by  one  of  the  largest 
manufacturers  in  the  world  and  they  present 
many  features  not  found  in  other  kitchen 
cabinets,  even  those  widely  advertised  at 
double  our  figure. 

Our  Kitchen  Cabinets  are  the  product  of  the 
very  best  skilled  workmen  and  modern  ma¬ 
chinery  after  the  patterns  of  the  highest 
paid  designers  in  the  world.  Every  joint  and 
tenon  is  perfectly  formed,  every  door  is  per¬ 
fectly  fitting  and  the  drawers  and  bins  slide 
without  friction  and  without  binding.  They 
can  be  easily  removed  and  cleaned  and  are 
guaranteed  to  be  dust-proof  and  vermin-proof 
when  kept  closed.  These  cabinets  are  not  to 
be  compared  to  the  cheap  lumber  affairs 
masking  under  the  name  of  “Kitchen  Cabinet” 
sold  elsewhere.  Nothing  but  the  very  choic¬ 
est,  well  seasoned  and  kiln  dried  hardwood 
goes  into  the  making  of  our  cabinets  and  the 
finish  of  the  exterior,  except  the  white  base 
top  and  kneading  boards,  is  always  in  a  rich 
shade  of  golden  which  invariably  gives  the 
kitchen  a  neat  and  bright  appearance.  The 
exceptions  noted  are  finished  in  the  natural 
wood,  white  and  pure,  which  will  not  taint 
the  articles  of  food  with  which  it  comes  in 
contact.  No.  23E-904.

WASHING  MACHINES 


Our  Washing  Machines  are  the  Best  in  the  World.  We  offer  them  on  our 
EASY-WAY-TO-PAY  plan  at  25  to  40  per  cent  discount  from  regular  prices. 

They  are  the  acme  of  perfection  attained  in  the  manufacture  of  machines  to  lighten  the  labors 
of  housekeeping.  No  other  washing  machine  on  the  market  today  can  compare  favorably  with 
“The  People’s.”  These ffnachines,  unlike  so  many  others,  are  designed  not  so  much  for  the  profit 
they  will  produce,  but  rather  for  the  amount  of  labor  they  will  save.  They  are  designed  and 
made  especially  for  us  and  upon  the  specifications  we  furnished.  We  have  made  a  most  careful 
study  of  all  the  washing  machines  on  the  market — noted  their  defects — and  then  constructed 
the  “People’s”  Machine  with  the  express  purpose  of  eliminating  all  the  drudgery,  all  the  pain, 
all  the  disadvantages,  all  the  clumsiness,  found  in  other  machines.  Ours  are  the  ideal  machines 
in  every  feature  of  their  construction,  and  in  recommending  them  to  our  customers  we  feel  a 
deep  sense  of  pride — because  we  know  that  for  every  Washing  Machine  sold  we  make  a  well 
pleased  customer  and  add  a  life  long  friend  to  our  list  of  loyal  patrons.

finished  in  a  thorough  manner  with  a  high  grade  filler  coating  of  shellac  and  the  best  grade  of  varnish  obtainable.  The

the  making  of  washing  machines,  which  will  not  rust  or  break.  The  tub  is  mounted  on  stout  legs  firmly  bolted,  but  as 
each  is  attached  independently  of  the  other,  it  will  not  be  found  necessary  to  throw  the  entire  base  away  should  any 
one’ of  the  legs  wear  out  in  a  few  years.  This  machine  will  be  shipped  to  you  with  the  distinct  understanding  that  if

THE  DETROIT  WASHING  MACHINE  $7.35 

THE  BEST  ROTARY  WASHING  MACHINE  MADE.  Material  used,  construction,  workmanship  and  finish  are  of 
the  very  best,  and  should  be  compared  to  those  offered  elsewhere  at  from  $10  to  $14.  Its  greatest  feature  is  simplicity, 
having  only  three  distinct  and  separate  parts  in  its  make-up.  This  is  what  gives  this  machine  its  great  strength  and  easy 
running  qualities.  The  gearing  is  carefully  constructed  of  the  best  obtainable  iron  used  in  the  manufacture  of  washing 
machines,  and  the  tub  is  made  of  thoroughly  kiln  dried  hard  and  soft  woods,  in  a  proper  proportion  to  prevent  warping 
or  leakage.  It  has  an  interior  measurement  of  22)4x11  inches.  It  is  beautifully  finished  throughout;  the  broad  steel 
hoops  have  an  interior  measurement  of  22)4x11  inches.  It  is  beautifully  finished  throughout;  the  broad  steel  hoops  are

wood,  being  given  a  coat  of  shellac,  followed  with  two  coats  of  heavy  coach  varnish — this  combination  making  the  most 
beautiful  looking  machine  imaginable.  Note  particularly  the  improved  construction  of  the  base.  Instead  of  the  ex¬ 
tended  stave  leg,  usually  furnished  with  machines  of  this  type  at  our  figure,  we  offer  you  a  machine  fitted  with  the  latest 
detachable  leg  construction,  which  does  away  with  the  necessity  of  throwing  the  entire  base  away  in  case  a  leg  becomes 
broken.  This  is  a  point  carefully  to  be  considered,  and  should  influence  you  in  making  a  selection.  We  will  sell  you 
this  machine  upon  the  following  terms:  $1.00  cash  with  order,  balance  payable  at  the  rate  of  50c  each  month.  Shipping

35E-159.  THE  VERY  LATEST  IMPROVED  WASHING  MACHINE  MADE.  It  is  a  double  action,  ball-bearing  re¬ 
volving  machine,  built  along  the  lines  of  the  greatest  simplicity,  insuring  a  machine  of  the  greatest  strength  and  durability 
as  well  as  ease  of  operation.  The  tub  is  made  of  red  cypress,  with  the  bottom  and  sides  of  the  interior  corrugated  to 
increase  agitation  of  the  water  while  the  tub  is  in  action.  When  in  action,  tRis  Washer  has  an  oscillating  movement, 
which  greatly  adds  to  its  efficiency.  The  pivot  post  in  the  center  of  the  tub  revolves  in  the  opposite  direction  from  that 
of  the  tub,  and  it  is  this  pivot  which  carries  the  circular  scrub  board,  fitted  with  cleats  on  the  under  side,  and  this  board 
nts  closely  down  upon  the  clothes.  The  oscillating  movement  of  the  tub,  together  with  the  circular  scrub  board  traveling 
in  opposite  directions,  applies  the  principle  of  the  old-fashioned  wash-board  but  it  certainly  makes  washing  a  real  pleasure, 
instead  of  a  back-breaking  and  muscle  tiring  ordeal.  All  metal  parts  expose^  to  the  action  of  the  water  are  heavily 
galvanized  to  prevent  rusting,  and  the  hoops  and  other  metal  parts  are  haifcsomely  finished.  Shipping  weight,  70

THE  PEOPLE’S  EASY  WAY  TO  PAY  BOOK 


Terms :  $1.25  Cash;  Balance,  75c  a  Month  [ 


The  Berlin  Washer  may  be  operated  with  such  ease 
that  it’s  like  work  done  by  magic.  With  the  slightest 
effort  the  result  is  wonderfully  astonishing. 

It’s  not  the  rough  surface,  not  the  irregular  rough 
handling,  tearing  of  clothes  that  cleanses  them,  but 
the  gentle  forcing  of  hot  water  through  the  fibre  of 
the  clothes.  If  with  the  water  you  use  superheated 
steam,  the  time  for  cleaning  and  wear  on  the  clothes 
is  lessened. 

The  cardinal  features  of  a  desirable  washer  are 
its  ease  of  operation,  it’s  simplicity,  its  gentle  hand¬ 
ling  of  soiled  clothes  to  prevent  tearing,  its  quickly 
and  thoroughly  cleaning  same. 

Best  features  all  embodied  in  Berlin  Washer,  as  it 
alone  adapts  every  scientific  principle  with  less 
mechanism  and  eliminates  all  objectionable  features 
ever  applied  to  a  washer. 

The  Berlin  eliminates  entirely  any  complicated 
gearing. 

The  Berlin  is  the  only  washer  absolutely  air-tight, 
making  it  possible  to  force  alternately  steam  and  hot 
water  through  clothes,  which  thoroughly  sterilizes 
them. 

The  Berlin  washer,  because  of  this  air-tight  feature 
retains  the  heat  in  water,  thus  making  boiling  of 
clothes  entirely  unnecessary. 

The  Berlin  uses  less  water,  for  being  confined,  there 
is  no  evaporation  or  loss  of  steam  usually  filling  the 
room  which  is  so  detrimental  to  the  user  of  machines. 

The  Berlin  with  its  constant  and  complete  agitation 
of  the  entire  contents  of  barrel  gives  full  use  of  all  the 
water,  all  the  soap,  all  the  suds,  all  the  steam  all  the 
time. 

The  Berlin  washes  alike  the  tiniest  piece  of  linen 
and  largest  blanket  with  equal  ease  and  absolute 
certainty  of  not  tearing. 

The  Berlin  washer  has  a  most  rigid  wringer  attach¬ 
ment,  most  conveniently  and  substantially  arranged, 
entirely  independent  of  barrel. 

Construction,  The  Berlin  washer  is  made  as 


carefully  and  finished  off  as  nicely  as  the  finest  piece 
of  furniture.  It  is  made  of  solid  oak  staves,  each 
stave  perfectly  matched  thus  making  barrel  air  and 
water  proof.  Lid  is  made  of  same  material  with  cork 
strip  all  around  the  edge  to  make  it  absolutely  air  and 
water  tight.  The  finish  is  a  bright  golden  with 
orange  color  hoops  and  aluminum  color  gearing. 
Frame  is  made  o.  oak,  very  substantial  and  heavy. 
Shipping  weight,  85  pounds. 

Our  price  . $7.95 

Directions:  Two  pails  of  hot  water,  boiling  if 
possible;  cut  up  J/i  cake  of  soap  or  equal  quantity  of 
substitute;  put  in  sufficient  clothes  to  bring  the  water 
half  way  to  top;  put  on  cover  so  bars  are  parallel  to 
wringer  board  and  washing  may  be  begun. 

Place  chair  with  side  to  washer  so  when  seated  arm 
may  have  full  swing.  Start  as  pendulum  motion 
forcing  washer  around  two  or  three  complete  revo¬ 
lutions,  then  let  gravity  aid  you  in  starting 
reverse.  By  reversing  every  two  or  three  revo¬ 
lutions,  without  exertion,  five  to  six  minutes  will 
give  you  perfectly  cleaned  clothes.  Open  cock  valve 
to  release  steam  generated  by  this  constant  agitation, 
then  remove  cover,  wring  your  clothes  from  barrel 
to  clear  water  or  basket,  when  you  will  find  your 
water  in  barrel  sufficiently  hot  for  several  washings. 
If  your  clothes  are  very  much  soiled,  clear  water 
should  be  put  in  for  each  washing  and  that  regard¬ 
less  of  abundance  of  suds. 

In  order  to  prevent  the  necessity  of  any  oil  what¬ 
ever, the  bearings  are  metal  against  the  cross  grain  of 
the  all  oak  frame.  A  small  shaving  of  soap  under 
each  bearing  makes  it  turn  with  practically  no 
friction. 

The  simplicity  of  the  inner  mechanism,  though 
arranged  for  most  practical  results  and  general  con¬ 
struction  of  entire  washer  manufactured  and  ex¬ 
clusively  controlled  by  ourselves,  gives  you  the  only 
practically  indestructible  washer  manufactured. 

After  washing,  replace  cover  to  retain  moisture  in 
barrel.

earners. 


A  CHEAP  REFRIGERATOR  tZZJLg 
IS  DEAR  AT  ANY  PRICE  : 

mg  is  dearer  than 

a  cheap  stove  or  a  cheap  refrigerator.  Each  requires  to  be 
fed,  and  the  greater  the  number  of  defects  in  its  make-up, 
the  greater  amount  of  food  (coal  or  ice)  will  be  required 
to  produce  a  given  result. 

USED  IN  ARMY  AND  NAVY 

we  would  like  to  mention,  in  passing,  that  since  the  United 
States  army  commenced  using  our  make  of  refrigerators, 
no  more  complaint  is  heard  of  bad  beef.  It  might  be 
interesting  to  observe  also  that  many  of  the  fighting  ships 
bearing  the  Stars  and  Stripes  on  their  mast-heads  are 
fitted  with  these  refrigerators,  and  as  they  were  selected 
by  the  United  States  government  against  the  strer  uous 
competition  of  hundreds  of  others,  the  superiority  of  ours 
may  readily  be  conceded. 


In  the  se¬ 
lection  of 

our  great  line  of  refrigerators,  we  are  influenced  by  two  great 
ideas,  viz:  (1)  We  wanted  a  refrigerator  of  which  we  could 
truthfully  and  conscientiously  say  to  our  great  army  of'cus- 
tomers  scattered  throughout  the  length  and  breadth  of  this 
country:  “Take  this  ‘food  preserver’  into  your  home 
and  we  absolutely  guarantee  that  it  will  keep  your  food 
stuffs  in  perfectly  wholesome  condition.”  We  say  further, 
order  it  with  the  distinct  understanding  and  agreement 
that  i£  it  is  not  just  exactly  as  represented,  or,  if  you  find 
that  it  is  not  the  greatest  bargain  on  the  market,  you 
may  return  it  to  us  and  we  will  refund  every  -cent 
expended  by  you  in  placing  the  order.  Could  anything  be 
more  fair?  We  also  hold  ourselves  responsible  for  its  safe 
delivery  to  your  station. 

■  T  tAfUAI  ETC  A I  F  ^  We  wan^e(^  a  refrigerator 

HI  VVIIUbbWHkk  possessing  every  good  feature 
of  the  best  on  the  market,  and  we  wanted  one  to  offer  to 
our  customers  at  a  price  easily  within  their  means.  We 
were  not  willing,  however,  to  sacrifice  quality  for  the  sake 
of  low  price.  Thereupon  we  turned  to  the  most  successful 
maker  of  refrigerators  we  know  of,  reputed  to  be  the  largest 
manufacturer  of  refrigerators  in  the  world,  whose  output 
mounts  up  into  the  hundreds  of  thousands,  who  ships  to 
every  part  of  the  civilized  world  where  a  refrigerator  is  a

_ THE  PEOPLE’S  EASY  WAY  TO  PAY  BOOK 

HE  STORY  OF  THE  CONSTRUCTIOH  OF  THE 
WORLD’S  BEST  ANTI-SEPTIC  REFRIGERATORS 

Just  why  the  “Victor”  and  “Jack  Frost”  refrigerators  are  the  very  highest  types  of  food  preservers  on  the 
market  today  is  an  interesting  story.  We  propose  to  take  one  apart  and  show  you  step  by  step 
its  mechanical  makeup  or  construction,  its  most  up-to-date  and  improved  features  and  its  great  practicability. 


Production  of  Dry  Cold  Air 


'/77///////////7/77/S 


/  /  /  ~ '  '////////////////////* 


The  chief  aim  of  a  re¬ 
frigerator  is  the  production 
of  dry,  cold  air  properly 
circulated  throughout  every 
part  at  the  least  expense  of 
ice.  It  has  been  proven  by 
actual  hygrometer  test  that 
our  refrigerators  give  25 
per  cent  dryer  air  than 
any  other  make  (one  reason 
why  they  have  been  selected 
by  the  United  States  Gov¬ 
ernment  for  use  in  the  Army 
and  Navy),  while  their  con¬ 
struction  permits  12  per 
cent,  greater  ice  capacity, 
and  the  resultant  four  to 
six  degrees  lower  tempera¬ 
ture  in  thirty  minutes. 

The  accompanying  dia¬ 
gram  fully  illustrates  the 
theory  of  circulation  in  all 
our  refrigerators.  The 
arrows  indicate  the  direction 
of  the  currents  of  air,  which 
are  kept  in  constant  motion 
by  the  opposing  forces  of 
heat  and  cold.  These  cur¬ 
rents  are  created  by  the  cold 
air  from  the  ice  chamber 
entering  the  provision  room 
at  the  top  near  its  center; 
from  thence  it  passes  down 
and  around  whatever  articles 
may  be  stored  therein,  tak- 
_  .  ing  on  their  odors  and  be¬ 
coming  more  or  less  warmed.  It  is  then  forced  by  natural  laws  to  ascend  to  the  top 
where  its  only  outlet  is  through  the  flues  at  either  side  of  the  ice  chamber;  here 
it  is  condensed  and  cooled,  settling  down  over  and  around  the  ice,  which  lies  upon  a 
rack  made  of  heavy  corrugated  galvanized  iron;  when  the  air  comes  in  contact 
with  this  iron,  it  being  cold  as  the  ice  itself,  it  quickly  condenses  all  vapor  or  odor 
that  may  remain,  thus  leaving  all  impurities  to  pass  off  through  the  drip  pipe  with 
the  melted  ice.  The  condensation  is  the  same  as  seen  on  a  pitcher  or  glass  of  ice 
water  coming  in  contact  with  a  warm,  moist  atmosphere,  and  also  forcibly  illus¬ 
trated  by  the  breath  coming  in  contact  with  cold,  frosty  atmosphere.  It  will  thus 
be  seen  that  all  odor  or  vapor  is  removed,  and  the  pure,  dry  cold  air  returns  to  the 
provision  chamber,  thereby  securing  the  most  favorable  conditions  possible  for  the 
preservation  of  all  articles  stored  therein.  These  conditions  wall  continue  so  long 
as  the  ice  chamber  is  kept  filled  with  ice.  Moisture  in  the  provision  chamber  is  a 
deadly  foe,  creating  foul,  poisonous  air.  and  destroying  instead  of  preserving  its 
contents. 

The  circulation  of  the  Victor  and.  Jack  Frost  keeps  the  air  dry,  pure  and  cold. 

All  these  conditions  are  necessary  to  insure  perfect  preserving  qualities  in  a  refrig¬ 
erator.  The  Victor  and  Jack  Frost  Refrigerators  are  the  best  made  for  preserving 
and  keeping  all  articles  stored  therein  pure  and  hygienic. 


Anti-Septic  Zinc  and  Enameled-Zinc  Linings 

Another  word  about  the  linings  of  our  refrigerators.  The  “Victor”  and  the 
tljack  Frost  are-  lined, — the  former  with  anti-septic  zinc  and  the  latter  with  white 
enameled  anti-septic  zinc.  We  would  content  ourselves  with  this  explanation  were 
it  not  for  the  fact  that  there  are  many  zinc  lined  refrigerators  offered  the  public  that 
should  never  find  a  place  in  any  home.  It  must  be  remembered  that  zinc  is  used  for 
various  purposes,  other  than  for  refrigerators,  and  in  certain  stages  it  is  positively 
injurious,  poisoning  the  foods  coming  in  contact  with  it,  causing  it  to  decay,  etc. 
The  zinc  used  for  lining  the  “Victor”  and  the  “Jack  Frost  is  prepared  for  its 
particular  use  by  a  secret  process  that  is  positively  non-injurious,it  is  easily  cleaned 
and  it  is  the  best  known  non-conductor  of  heat  and  cold.  If  you  value  the  health 
of  your  family,  if  you  have  at  heart  the  welfare  of  your  near  and  dear  ones, be  sure 
to  order  a“Victor  ’or  “Jack  Frost”anti-septic  zinc  lined  refrigerator  and  no  other. 


Removable  Ice  Tank 


Another  splendid  feature 
of  our  refrigerator  is  the  re¬ 
movable  ice  compartment, 
herewith  illustrated.  It  will 
be  noted  that  it  consists  of  a 
galvanized  iron  ice  recept- 
cle  shown  at  the  lett,  a 
corrugated  ice  rack  shown  in 
the  center  and  a  galvanized 
iron  drip  pan  on  the  right. 
They  are  extremely  simple 
in  construction  and  cannot 
get  out  of  order.  The  cir¬ 
culation  of  air  is  not  retard¬ 
ed  and  the  result  is  a  cold, 
dry  atmosphere.  As  stated 
previously,  this  construction 
allows  20  per  cent,  more  ice 
capacity  than  others,  and 
will  show  from  four  to  six 


degrees  lower  temperature  in  thirty  minutes.  Furthermore,  it  makes  every. part 
of  the  refrigerator  easy  of  access  for  cleaning.  Then,  too,  think  of  the  convenience 
of  allowing  the  ice  man  to  take  the  receptacle  out  to  his  wagon  where  he  can  fill  it 
with  ice,  carry  it  back  into  the  house  the  same  as  you  would  a  basket,  and  place 
it  into  the  refrigerator — all  this  without  muss  or  dirt  or  wetting  up  the  floor  with 
drippings — truly  cleanly  and  practical  all  the  way  through. 


Scientific  Construction 

In  the  construction  of  our  refrigerators  the  matter  of  good  material  and  expert 
workmanship  are  not  the  only  considerations.  A  refrigerator  is  like  a  high  grade 
piano,  it  must  be  constructed  on  certain  tested  scientific  principles  in  order  to 
produce  the  highest  results,  and  we  can  conscientiously  state  that  from  a  con¬ 
structive  and  scientific  point  of  view  our  refrigerators  cannot  be  excelled  by  any 
other  make  on  the  market.  Our  case  work  is  made  of  clear,  hard  northern  ash, 
finished  in  a  substantial,  rich,  golden  oak,  with  spar  varnish.  We  repeat,  that  our 
refrigerators  are  made  on  the  most  modern  and  correct  theory  of  insulation.  First 
we  have  an  inside  wall  of  anti-septic  zinc  in  the  “Victor,  or  enameled  anti-septic 
zinc  in  the  “Jack  Frost,”  then  a  heavy  wall  of  matched,  tasteless  and  ordorless  pine 
1  umber,  then  a  wall  of  charcoal  shreathing,  a  space  of  dead  air,  and  then  a  second 
wall  of  sheathing  inside  the  outer  casing. 


Automatic  Drip  Cups 

The  illustration  herewith  given  affords  a 
very  clear  idea  of  the  newly  invented  drip  cup 
with  which  our  refrigerators  are  fitted.  It  is 
made  of  cast  iron  and  is  securely  screwed  to  the 
base  of  the  refrigerator,  thus  preventing  it  from 
falling  and  letting  the  warm  air  up  into  the  ice 
chamber.  A  string  leading  to  the  front  of  the 
case  can  be  pulled  to  drain  the  cup  before  re¬ 
moving  the  pan  to  be  emptied;  releasing  the 
string  returns  the  cup  to  its  place,  and  holds  the 
drip  while  pan  is  being  emptied,  so  that  no 
water  will  fall  on  the  floor.  This  is  our  great 
automatic  drip  cup  which  we  herewith  illustrate. 


Bali  Bearing  Casters 

In  the  accompanying  illustra¬ 
tion  we  show  a  cross  section  of 
our  patent  self-retaining,  ball¬ 
bearing  casters  used  on  our  re¬ 
frigerators.  They  are  made  of 
steel,  with  wooden  wheels,  and 
therefore  do  not  cause  rust  stains 
on  the  floor.  They  will  not  drop 
out  when  the  refrigerator  is 
raised  from  the  floor,  but  they 
can  be  easily  removed  if  necessary 
and  returned  just  as  easily. 


TUF  DRIP  PAN  isfe,t  insulated, 'which 
■  ■■  6  Vmr  I  Mil  jsa  new  invention,  and 
it  is  positively  the  only  one  that  will  not  condense. 
It  is  double  throughout  and  has  all  turned  edges. 
np|P  pi  pp  The  drip  pipe  fitted  on  our 
■*  ■■  ■  r  lilt  refrigerator  is  easily  the 
best  on  the  market.  It  is  removable  with  a  screw 
air  tight  joint,  so  constructed  that  it  will  never 
interfere  with  proper  circulation,  a  very  common 
rouble  in  ordinary  refrigerators. 


CUp I  1/ PC  are  made  to  slide  and, 
wntLVtO  there  is  plenty  of  air 
space  between  the  strips  of  the  shelves — allowing 
the  very  best  possible  circulation.  Furthermore, 
they  may  be  adjusted  to  different  heights,  a  very 
desirable  feature,  permitting  the  storing  of  different 
sized  vessels,  not  possible  where  the  shelves  are 
stationary. 

Our  refrigerators  are  fitted 
with  solid  cast  brass  trim¬ 


mings.  heavily  plated  and  polished.  There  certainly 
is  nothing  cheap  about  their  make-up,  everything  is 
of  the  very  highest  quality,  no  expense  being  spared 
to  make  the  best  refrigerator  on  the  market. 

AUTOMATIC  LID  HOLDER 

Just  to  show  the  completeness  of  our  refrigerators, 
we  mention  the  fact  that  they  are  fitted  with  an 
automatic  lid  holder.  No  danger  of  the  lid  falling 
down  and  smashing  your  fingers  or  your  head

The  “Grand”  Refrigerator  has  a  case  of  solid  ash,  finished 
golden.  It  is  lined  with  zinc  and  has  a  non-removable  gal¬ 
vanized  iron  ice  receptacle. 

Price  considered,  our  “Grand”  Refrigerator  is  not  to  be 
compared  to  those  sold  elsewhere  at  our  prices  in  the  various 
sizes.  The  “Grand”  has  always  been  the  standard  for  old- 
style  refrigerators  and  it  represents  the  best  earlier  years  had 
to  offer.  We  were  the  first  to  bring  on  the  mar¬ 
ket  the  superior  removable-ice-compartment  refriger¬ 
ator,  a  feature  the  “Grand”  and  its  hosts  of 
inferior  competitors  and  imitators  lack.  The  difference 
the  “Grand”  and  one  of  our  “Victor”  or  “Jack  Frost 
partment  refrigerators  is  so  slight  that  you  will

CARE  OF  REFRIGERATORS 

Always  Keep  the  Ice  Chamber  Full  of  Ice 

well  filled  with  ice,  as  it  will  take  less  ice.  If  the  ice  chamber  is  kept  well  supplied, 
it  will  always  keep  a  circulation  of  cold,  dry  air  in  the  provision  chamber,  free  from 
moisture.  The  greater  the  supply  of  ice  the  closer  the  temperature  of  the  ice 
chamber  will  be  to  that  of  the  ice  itself,  thus  preventing  the  melting  of  the  ice,  and 
producing  a  more  lively  circulation  of  cold  air  most  beneficial  to  the  proper 
preservation  of  the  food. 

In  case  the  ice  should  be  completely  consumed  at  any  time  and  the  refrigerator  bt- 
com  es  warm ,  all  its  contents  should  bejremo  ved  and  the  refrigerator  thoroughly  cleaned . 

Never  place  warm  provisions  in  your  refrigerator.  Do  not  keep  provisions  in 
the  ice  chamber. 


New  refrigerators  should  stand  from  twelve  to  twenty-four  hours  after  the  ice 
chamber  is  filled  before  placing  articles  in  the  provision  chamber. 

A  refrigerator  should  never  be  used  for  storing  provisions  and  perishable  articles 
unless  there  is  ice  in  the  chamber,  for  the  reason  that  there  can  be  no  circulation 
without  the  cold  air.  Consequently  its  contents  will  mould  and  decay. 

In  using  refrigerators  without  ice,  the  lid  should  be  left  open  to  allow  circula¬ 
tion.  See  that  the  drip  pipe  does  not  get  choked  or  filled  up  with  refuse  from 
the  ice  chamber;  it  can  be  taken  out,  when  necessary,  by  unscrewing. 

Follow  these  directions  and  your  refrigerator  will  always  give  satisfaction. 

Suaoe^fion*  Cleanliness  is  the  first  suggestion.  All  refrigerators  should  be 
WHjjycoimiia  carefully  cleaned  before  using.  Next,  see  that  the  drip  cup 
at  the  bottom  end  of  the  drip  pipe  under  the  refrigerator  is  kept  closed.  If  this  is 
not  done  the  air  will  enter  the  ice  chamber  through  the  drip  pipe  and  thus  melt 
the  ice,  thereby  causing  a  great  and  useless  waste  of  ice.  It  is  important  to  look 
after  this  point.

REFRIGERATOR 


This  refrigerator  is  lined  with  Anti¬ 
septic  Galvanized  Iron,  has  Three 
Provision  Shelves,  and  its  Ice  capacity 

is  80  to  150  lbs. — See  table  below. 

A  new  refrigerator  built  on  the  same 
high  plane  as  our  other  “Victor”  refri¬ 
gerators.  With  a  full  length  provision 
chamber  on  one  side  and  the  ice 
chamber  on  the  other  side — it’s  great 
advantages  are  at  once  apparent.  It 
means  a  saving  in  floor  space  as  well 
as  an  economy  of  ice — in  short,  it 
means  a  less  expensive  refrigerator. 
Our  extremely  low  price  for  same  is  no  indication  of  its  true  value;  it 
easily  compares  with  those  sold  elsewhere  at  20  per  cent  above  our  figure. 

It  is  made  of  kiln-dried  solid  hardwood,  finished  in  a  rich  shade  of 
golden,  handsomely  adorned  wTith  hand  carvings.  It  has  our  perfect 
system  of  cold  air  circulation;  it  is  fitted  with  ball  bearing  casters  and 
our  patent  drip  cup.  It  has  three  sliding  adjustable  shelves  and  heavy 
brass  trimmings.  See  page  64  of  this  catalogue  for  complete  description 
regarding  all  the  superior  features  of  this  refrigerator.

REFRIGERATOR 

TWO  PROVISION  SHELVES,  REMOVABLE 
FLUE,  ANTISEPTIC  ZINC  LINED 

This  splendid  Refrigerator  will  prove  useful  where  an 
economy  of  space  is  a  great  consideration. 

It  is  built  high  and  narrow,  to  occupy  the  minimum 
amount  of  floor  space,  and  yet  its  ice  capacity  and  the 
dimensions  of  the  provision  chamber  are  not  reduced. 

Instead  of  a  top  lid  it  has  a  swinging  door  leading  into 
the  ice  chamber,  which,  like  the  door  below  it,  is  fitted  with 
heavy  brass  trimmings  and  a  patent  locking  device.  It  has 
our  perfect  system  of  circulation  and  the  production  of  cold 
dry  air,  explained  fully  with  a  diagram  on  page  64  of  this  catalogue.  It  has  specially 
prepared  antiseptic  zinc  linings,  the  advantage  of  which  we  explain  on  page  64  of  this  cata¬ 
logue;  automatic  drip  cup;  ball-bearing  casters;  heavy  brass  trimmings  and  adjustable  sliding 
shelves.  For  complete  description  see  page  64  of  this  catalogue. 

It  is  constructed  throughout  of  handsomely  finished  northern  ash.  For  a  small  family 
living  in  an  apartment  house  or  in  limited  quarters,  this  is  just  the  refrigerator  to  have.  Our 
extraordinarily  low  price  for  same  is  no  indication  of  its  true  value.  It  must  be  compared 
to  those  sold  elsewhere  at  yi  above  our  figure  in  order  to  gain  a  fair  idea  of  its  great  value.

EXTRA  LARGE,  APARTMENT  HOUSE  STYLE, 
—  ANTISEPTIC  ZINC  LINED  = 

The  most  extraordinary  value  in  a  high  grade  Refriger¬ 
ator  ever  catalogued. 

This  Refrigerator  is  constructed  in  a  superior  manner 
and  of  the  finest  materials.  It  is  made  of  kiln-dried  solid 
hardwood,  with  a  royal  gloss  finish  in  a  rich  shade  of 
golden.  It  is  lined  with  our  specially  prepared  antiseptic 
zinc,  and  is  fitted  otherwise  with  the  splendid  improved 
features  of  the  famous  “Victor”  Refrigerators. 

It  is  mounted  on  ball-bearing  casters,  illustrated  and 
catalogue;  has  three  sliding  adjustable  shelves;  heavy 
brass  trimmings:  removable  flue,  and  our  patent  automatic  drip  cup. 

It  is  made  with  our  perfect  system  of  cold  air  circulation,  fully  explained  and  described 
with  diagram  on  page  64  of  this  catalogue. 

This  Refrigerator  is  very  popular  because  it  takes  up  comparatively  little  floor  space  in 
spite  of  its  ample  ice  and  provision  storage  capacity.  It  has  two  provision  storage 
chambers  with  independent  air  circulation. 

This  is  the  most  scientifically  constructed  refrigerator  of  this  style  ever  made,  and  as 
an  economizer  of  ice  cannot  be  surpassed.  “Victor”  refrigerators  are  known  throughout 
the  world  as  standard.

EES  VICTOR 

Here  is  a  new  pattern  in  a  “Vic¬ 
tor”  Refrigerator  with  a  generous  ice 
capacity  and  a  large  provision  cham¬ 
ber.  Instead  of  a  lid  it  has  two 
swinging  doors  leading  into  the  ice 
chamber.  They  are  fitted  with  heavy 
brass  hinges  and  patent  locking 
device. 

All  the  splendid  features  of  “Vic¬ 
tor”  Refrigerators  are  found  also  in 
this  one:  the  perfect  production  of 
cold  dry  air;  antiseptic  zinc  linings; 
automatic  drip  cups;  ball-bearing 
casters  and  sliding  adjustable  shelves, 
all  fully  described  and  illustrated  on 
page  64  of  this  catalogue 

This  refrigerator  can  also  be  fur¬ 
nished  with  a  porcelain  lined  water  cooler,  which  is  a  splendid  feature,  as 
it  permits  a  supply  of  ice-cold  water  when  wanted  without  resorting  to 
the  unhealthful  practice  of  placing  ice  directly  into  the  water. 

We  call  special  attention  to  the  fact  that  in  this  as  well  as  our  other 
“Victor”  and  “Jack  Frost”  refrigerators,  all  the  parts  are  removable  for 
cleaning,  and  they  are  constructed  so  that  they  may  be  put  back  with¬ 
out  the  slightest  trouble. 

Specifications:  Ice  capacity,  174  pounds;  width,  36  inches:  depth,

wherever  a  large  size  refrigerator  is  found  useful.  It  is  easily  superior  to  any 
other  refrigerator  on  the  market  selling  at  a  similar  price  or  even  25  per  cent,  above 
our  figure.  It  measures  70  inches  in  height,  33  inches  deep  and  50  inches  wide.  It 
is  fitted  with  two  doors  leading  into  the  ice  chambers  and  two  doors  leading  into 
the  provision  chambers  underneath.  It  is  built  upon  our  perfect  system  of  cold  ai

In  a  large  refrigerator  like  this,  the  item  of  ice  charges  is  an  important  one. 
As  compared  to  the  price  such  a  splendid  refrigerator  will  cost  you  elsewhere,  we 
guarantee  our  price  to  be  a  30  per  cent,  saving,  saying  nothing  of  the  more 
perfect  preservation  of  your  food  stuffs.  Shipping  weight,  500  pounds.

Purity  is  the  key-note  of  our  great  “Jack  Frost” 
line  of  refrigerators.  The  provision  chambers  are  lined 
with  finest  grade  pure  white  enamel  that  can  be  cleaned 
with  a  damp  sponge,  and  thus  it  always  presents  a  pure 
white  appearance  as  when  new. 

Despite  our  extremely  low  price  for  this  refrigerator, 
it  possesses  all  of  the  much  desired  improved  features  of 
the  most  expensive  refrigerators.  If  you  want  an  anti¬ 
septic  zinc  white-enameled  refrigerator  with  a  removable 
ice  compartment,  you  may  ‘make  your  selection  with  the 
extreme  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  you  are  getting  a 
refrigerator  that  cannot  be  duplicated  at  our  price — by  anyone,  anywhere. 

Besides  the  removable  ice  compartment,  mentioned  above,  this  refrigerator  is 
fitted  with  our  automatic  drip  cup,  illustrated  and  described  on  page  64  of  this  cata- 
alogue;  it  is  built  upon  our  perfect  system  of  cold  air  circulation,  has  automatic  lid 
holder,  and  patent  ball-bearing  casters.  Heavy  brass  trimmings  complete  the  equip¬ 
ment. 

Note. — The  smaller  sizes,  32E-130  to  133,  have  one  door  to  the  provision  chamber; 
32E-134  has  two  doors,  as  illustrated.

No.  32E-143.  This  is  the  best  Home  Refrigerator  listed  in  this  catalogue. 

This  is  a  50  per  cent,  better  refrigerator  than  any  other  sold  at  our  figure. 

There  certainly  is  no  need  to  explain  why  it  will  pay  you  to  order  the  best  home  re¬ 
frigerator  on  the  market.  That  the  best  is  cheapest  in  the  end  is  an  axiom,  a  truism  that 
never  is  disputed.  The  rub  heretofore  has  been  the  money  wherewith  to  purchase  the  best 
house  furnishings.  This  is  now  a  thing  of  the  past.  We  say,  “Never  mind  the  money 
pay  a  little  down,  take  the  article  in  your  home  and  use  it,  and  then  pay  the  balance  at  your 
leisure.” 

That’s  the  reason  why  we  would  strongly  urge  you  to  buy  our  best  home  “Jack  Frost” 
refrigerator.  We  guarantee  that  you  will  find  it  the  least  expensive  you  ever  saw. 

The  case  is  built  of  selected  solid  ash,  beautifully  finished  in  a  rich  shade  of  golden. 

A  great  advantage  of  this  “Jack  Frost”  white  enameled  refrigerator  is  that  the  provision 
compartment  is  divided,  making  two  separate  independent  chambers,  with  separate  doors 
leading  into  each.  This  is  a  strong  feature,  for  by  opening  one  door  at  a  time  less  warm 
air  is  admitted  and  a  smaller  disturbance  of  the  air  circulation  is  permitted,  which  means 
a  saving  in  the  consumption  of  ice.  This  refrigerator  is  fitted  with  our  patent  ball  bearing 
casters,  automatic  drip  cup,  removable  flue  and  heavy  brass  trimmings,  all  fully  described 
and  illustrated  on  page  64  of  this  catalogue.  It  has  an  ice  capacity  of  175  pounds, mea¬ 
sures  40  inches  wide;  20  inches  deep  and  54  inches  high.  The  ice  chamber  measures, 
15x1414x24  inches;  large  provision  chamber,  1.6x14.14x41  inches,  and  the  small  provision 
chamber  measures  16x1414x15  inches.  Shipping  weight,  225  pounds.

Sewing  Machines 


WE  SELL  THE  FAMOUS  EDISON  AND  THE  CELEBRATED  JEWEL  MACHINES 


Ho  Introduction  Necessary 


Edison  Sewing  Ma¬ 
chines  are  already 
so  thoroughly  well  known  in  every  part  of  the  United  States  that 
it  seems  hardly  necessary  to  enter  into  a  detailed  description 
of  the  superior  merits  of  this  celebrated  make.  Edison  machines 
are  everything  the  name  implies  and  represent  the  highest 
attainment  of  scientific  principles  as  applied  to  machinery. 
Many  know  this  fact ;  yet  no  woman  can  realize  and  appreciate 
the  wonderful  improvements  and  advantages  of  the  famous 
Edison  Sewing  Machine  until  she  has  actually  run  one. 

The  Edison  is  Standard  SXLcLSS 

tion,  and  the  average  person  cannot  tell  the  difference  at  sight 
between  the  best  and  the  inferior.  The  name  Edison  is  your 
protection  against  cheap,  faulty  mechanism  in  a  sewing  machine; 
for  every  machine  that  bears  this  name  is  genuine  and  perfect. 
There  are  certain  well  known  makes  of  machines  sold  at  high 
prices  that  will  give  good  service,  but  none  of  them  have  the 
simplicity  of  construction  nor  the  ease  of  operation  that  make 
the  Edison  famous — none  of  them  have  those  late  patented  im¬ 
provements  which  make  it  so  easy  for  every  woman  to  do  her 
own  sewing. 


Prices  Greatly -Reduced 


And  now,  since  we  have 
formed  such  close  re¬ 
lations  with  the  manufacturers  of  the  wonderful  Edison  and 
have  agreed  to  take  these  machines  in  enormous  quantities,  we 
are  announcing  some  startling  reductions  in  prices.  By  selling 
these  machines  direct  to  you  from  the  great  factory  we  will 
save  you  all  jobbers’,  dealers’,  and  agents’  commissions  and  place 
in  your  home  the  best  and  most  scientifically  constructed  and 
durable  sewing  machine  on  the  market  for  less  money  than  you 
would  pay  the  average  mail  order  house  for  some  cheap  trap 
that  no  one  could  operate  and  that  would  never  give  satisfaction. 

The  Edison!  Sent  on  Trial  ”"^1^ 

will  advise  you  not  to  get  one  of  our  machines  on  approval  be¬ 
cause  they  know  very  well  that  if  you  get  an  Edison  on  trial 
you  will  want  to  keep  it  and  that  means  a  lost  sale  for  them. 
You  take  no  risk  at  all  when  you  order  either  an  “Edison”  or  a 
“Jewel”  on  30  days  free  trial.  You  simply  send  us  the  first 
cash  payment  (which  is  required  only  to  insure  good  faith)  and 
we  promptly  forward  the  machine  that  you  pick  out.  You 
take  it  home  and  use  it  for  30  days.  Then,  if  you  are  satisfied 
with  the  bargain  you  begin  to  pay  off  the  balance  of  the  cost 
price  in  easy  monthly  payments.  If  at  the  end  of  the  30  days 
you  are  not  satisfied  with  the  machine,  simply  return  it  and  we 
will  give  you  back  your  first  payment  and  refund  freight  charges, 
so  you  will  not  be  one  penny  out  on  the  transaction.

Sedalia,  Mo..  June  127th,  1908. 

“Everything  came  in  good  order.  The 
curtains  are  just  beautiful.  I  never  was 
so  pleased  with  anything  as  I  am  with  the 
Edison  Sewing  Machine.  My  brother- 
in-law  is  an  agent  and  he  said  he  would 
take  off  his  hat  to  the  Edison  any  day, 
but  of  course  I  mustn’t  let  on,  because  I 
don’t  want  to  hurt  his  business.”

says  I  got  a  great  bargain,  and  I  want  you

“I  have  had  my  Edison  now  for  five 
months  and  I  like  it  better  than  any 
machine  I  ever  had  because  it  don’t  make 
my  back  ache  when  I  sew  all  day.  It 
runs  so  easy  that  I  just  enjoy  the  sewing 
work  that  I  used  to  dread.  I  wouldn’t 
part  with  my  Edison  for  love  nor  money 
if  I  couldn’t  get  another.”

“I  think  you  are  a  pretty  liberal  firm 
to  sell  me  that  fine  Edison  Machine  on 
time.  My  husband  thinks  it’s  the  biggest 
bargain  we  ever  got  for  the  money.  It 
came  all  right,  and  you  will  get  your

it.  My  wife  says  it  makes  as  nice  a 
stitch  and  runs  as  light  as  a  $65.00  Singer 
she  had  and  she  is  well  pleased  with  it. 
I  expect  you  will  get  another  order  from

The  “Tried  end  True”  Jewel  Sewing  Machines 


FACTS  VS.  NOISE 


After  all  is  said  and 
done,  it’s  quality  and 
efficiency  in  a  sewing  machine  that  you  are  looking 
for.  The  Jewel,  the  Edison  and  the  few  other  high 
grade  machines  now  on  the  market  have  no  difficulty 
in  making  good  their  claims,  and  should  not  be 
classed  in  the  same  category  wdth  the  inferior 
machines  put  up  by  many  mail  order  houses  only  to 
sell  at  a  cheap  price.  There  is  a  tendency  among 
imitators  of  the  Jewel  to  overdraw  and  exaggerate 
the  possibilities  of  their  machines,  in  their  futile 
efforts  to  make  the  people  believe  they  are  getting 
something  ‘‘just  as  good  as  a  Jewel.”  With  the 
single  exception  of  the  Edison,  the  Jewel  Sewing 
Machine  is  the  only  well  known  high  grade  machine 
made  that  is  sold  direct  from  factory  to  user,  with¬ 
out  wholesaler’s  or  agent’s  profit. 

THE  TRIED  AND  TRUE  complete  and 

perfect  ball  bearing  stand  ever  invented — with  latest 
improved  disc-tension,  positive  take-up,  automatic 
drop  lift,  ball-bearing  balance  wheel — with  head  and 
all  working  parts  larger  and  stronger  and  capable  of 
sewing  heavier  materials  than  any  other  machine 
made — with  the  newly  invented  patented  automatic 
equipment  and  hundreds  of  minor  improvements, 
each  one  of  which  has  been  worked  out  and  perfected 


after  years  of  constant  experiment — with  all  these  ad¬ 
vantages  in  its  favor  the  Jewel  is  now  offered  to  you 
on  easy  terms  of  credit  and  at  prices  as  low  and  lower 
than  other  houses  charge  for  their  inferior  makes. 

Because  of  its  wonderful  improvements,  which 
are  of  everlasting  benefit  to  the  operator,  saving  both 
time  and  worry,  the  Jewel  is  known  far  and  wide  as 
the  standard  of  all  sewing  machines.  Each  succeed¬ 
ing  year  for  the  last  quarter  of  a  century  has  found 
new  improvements  in  the  Jewel  until  now  it 
represents  ‘‘perfection”  in  sewing  machine  construc¬ 
tion.  When  you  buy  a  Jewel  you  are  getting  a 
machine  with  a  reputation.  It  has  been  tried  and 
found  true. 


A  PERSONAL  NOTE 

I  want  to  go  on  record  as  saying  that  our  line  of 
sewing  machines  is  positively  the  best  in  the  world, 
regardless  of  name  or  price.  And  I’ll  guarantee  that 
after  you  have  bought  one  of  our  celebrated  machines 
you  will  voluntarily  declare  it  to  be  the  finest, 
easiest  running  and  best  machine  you  ever  saw  or 
used.

You  Need  No  Instructor  to  Teach  You  How  to  Use  These  Improved  Jewel  Attachments 


DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  ATTACHMENTS 

A  complete  set  of  the  finest  steel 
attachments  accompanies  each  ma¬ 
chine.  All  the  latest  inventions  and 
improvements  as  applied  to  attach¬ 
ments  are  incorporated  in  this  set 
and  therefore  their  range  of  work 
extends  over  every  conceivable  class 
of  work  done  on  a  sewing  machine. 
They  comprise:  one  tuck  marker,  one 
quilter,  one  ruffler,  one  braider  foot, 
one  braider  plate,  one  shirring  plate, 
one  binder,  four  hemmers,  one  hem- 
mer  foot  and  feller,  and  one  plain 
presser  foot. 

The  attachments,  like  the  head, 
are  the  simplest  and  most  effective 
on  the  market. 

In  addition  to  the  above  we  supply 
the  following  accessories :  one  shuttle ; 
one  hemmer,  which  is  also  a  feller;  one  package  of  needles,  assorted  sizes;  six  bob¬ 
bins;  one  oil  can  filled  with  best  sewing  machine  oil;  one  quilter;  one  large  screw 
driver  and  one  shuttle  screw  driver;  one  large  wrench. 

AUTOMATIC  LIFT 

On  our  machines  you  will  find  represented 
two  styles  of  automatic  lift  devices ;  one  of 
these  we  call  our  automatic  lever  lift  device. 

The  make-up  of  this  device  is  a  steel  rod 
about  four  inches  long,  which  works  on  a 
cam,  and  With  the  raising  of  the  lift  brings 
the  head  automatically  in  position  to  sew. 
The  underside  of  the  lift  makes  a  large, 
roomy  table  on  which  can  be  readily  handled 
the  bulkiest  of  wprk  without  any  apparent 
effort  or  confusion.  It  is  neat, 
simple  and  easy  to  operate,  and 
very  desirable  in  every  respect. 

Our  strap  automatic  lift  is  con¬ 
ceded  to  be  the  best  of  its  kind 
on  the  market.  We  have  given 
this  lift  a  thorough  test,  and  have 
succeeded  in  procuring  a  quality 
of  strap  which  figuratively  speak¬ 
ing  knows  no  wear,  but  will  last  a 
life-time,  and  is  so  soft  and  pliable  as  to  make  the  operation  of  this  lift  absolutely 
noiseless. 

The  attachment  is  very  simple,  and  any  slack  can  be  taken  up  by  simply 
turning  a  thumb  screw  underneath  the  head.  As  in  the  lever  automatic  lift,  the 
raising  of  the  lift  brings  the  head  into  position,  and  the  underside  of  the  lift  then 
makes  a  large,  roomy  table  on  which  the  bulkiest  work  can  be  handled  with  the 
greatest  of  ease  and  with  absolutely  no  confusion  whatsoever.  These  two  lifts 
are  said  to  be  the  best  from  the  point  of  mechanical  construction  that  it  is  possible 
to  get  on  a  sewing  machine.  You  will  be  greatly  pleased  with  either  one  of  them 
and  will  find  that  they  will  give  absolute  satisfaction,  a  life-time  of  wear,  ease  and 
comfort.  These  lifts  do  away  entirely  with  the  disagreeable  feature  of  the  antique 
hand  lift  on  a  machine  where  it  is  necessary  to  raise  the  lid  and  then  lift  up  the 
head  by  the  hand.  This  old  style  method  meant  that  a  lady  had  to  lift  at  least 
thirty  pounds,  which  is  too  much  of  a  strain  for  any  one.  If  you  will  try  one  of 
our  automatic  lift  machines  you  will  have  no  trouble. 

m||  C  B  n  The  head  is  designed  on  beautiful  symmetrical  lines,  pleasing 
nCHU  to  the  eye  and  at  the  same  time  showing  strength  and 
simplicity.  The  enameled  parts  are  handsomely  decorated  and  the  bright  parts 
well  nickeled. 

The  arm  is  positively  full  height  and  length;  the  bed  plate  is  flush  with  the 
table.  The  materials  used  in  the  construction  of  the  head  are  the  best  obtainable. 
All  parts  are  interchangeable. 

The  construction  is  simple  in  the  extreme,  there  being  fewer  pieces  used 
in  making  this  head  than  in  any  other  high  grade  machine.  All  wearing  parts  are 
case  hardened  and  are  adjustable. 

The  _  latest  improvements,  such  as  self-setting  needle,  self-threading  shuttle, 
tension  liberator,  automatic  bobbin  winder;  large,  double,  positive  four  square 
motion  feed  and  spring  shuttle  carrier  are  combined  in  the  head,  making  a  light 
running,  almost  noiseless  machine  that  produces  a  beautiful  stitch. 

The  head  is  all  that  can  be  desired  in  a  good,  reliable,  carefully  adjusted,  high 
grade  sewing  machine. 


JEWEL  PERFECTED  BALL  BEARINGS 

We  have  not  slighted  a  single  feature  on 
our  machines  which  would  help  make  them 
the  best  that  the  market  affords. 

Our  new  anti-friction  ball-bearing  device  is 
a  model  of  mechanical  ingenuity  and  con¬ 
struction  which  is  so  delicately  adjusted  that 
there  is  absolutely  no  friction  whatsoever. 

Each  and  every  ball  is  fitted  in  a  separate 
compartment  so  there  is  no  possible  chance 
for  friction  and  no  oil  is  required. 

This  ball-bearing  device  is  absolutely 
noiseless,  light  and  even-running,  and  as  an 
additional  safeguard  to  simplicity  and 
light  construction,  we  have  put  on  this  ma¬ 
chine  a  steel  pitman  rod  with  a  ball  and 
socket  joint  so  that  this  entire  movement  is 
rotary.  The  ball-bearing  sewing  machine  is 
the  machine  of  today,  and  will  be  the  machine 
of  the  future.  Therefore,  in  considering  the 
purchase  of  a  machine,  one  of  the  first 
considerations  is  to  ascertain  whether  or  not 

it  is  an  improved  model  ball-bearing  stand  which  will  lessen  your  labor  and  make 
the  operation  of  the  machine  a  pleasure  instead  of  a  drudge. 

The  Shuttle  is  made  of  the 
finest  steel,  cylindrical  in  form 
with  opening  at  the  end ;  is  self¬ 
threading,  perfectly  fitted  and 
uses  a  large  bobbin. 

The  Shuttle  Carrier  is  fitted 
with  a  spring  to  prevent  unncessary  noise  in  running. 

The  Tension  Liberator  is  one  of  the  convenient  features  of  this  machine,  as  by 
a  slight  pressure  of  the  finger,  work  is  drawn  freely  from  the  machine  without 
breaking  the  thread,  as  the  liberator  releases  the  tension  of  the  thread  entirely. 


The  Feed  is  of  the 
most  improved  type 
“double-four”  motion, 
drop  feed,  perfect  and 
positive  in  its  action, 
and  produces  a  beau¬ 
tiful  even  stitch. 


In  addition,  there  is  supplied  free  with 
each  machine,  orte  package  assorted 
needles,  bobbins,  wrench,  screw  driver, 
oil  can,  oil,  instruction  book  and  our 

ten -year  guarantee. 


We  furnish  free  with  each  machine  a 
_ _ _ _  _  ___  handsomely  illustrated  32-page  Instruc¬ 
tion  Book  containing  clearly  written  and  explicit  instructions  how  to  operate  the 
machine  for  every  conceivable  kind  of  sewing.  We  have  made  it  possible  for  any 
one,  with  little  or  no  experience,  to  satisfactorily  work  the  machine  and  its  attach¬ 
ments.  Some  of  the  special  points  treated  are:  general  instructions  howto  operate 
the  machine  for  ordinary  work;  how  to  turn  a  sharp  corner;  howto  obtain  perfect 
stitching;  how  to  get  the  required  length  of  stitch;  how  to  oil,  kind  of  oil  to  use, 
etc.;  how  to  change  the  self-setting  needle;  how  to  thread  the  shuttle;  howto 
remove  the  shuttle ;  how  to  wind  the  automatic  bobbin  winder;  how  to  use  the  presser 
foot;  howto  regulate  the  tension;  all  about  needles  and  thread;  how  to  remove  the 
work,  etc.,  etc.  Besides,  detailed  instructions  with  illustrations  are  given  how  to 
do  hemming,  felling,  hemming  and  sewing  on  lace — one  operation,  tucking,  bind¬ 
ing,  ruffling  or  gathering,  ruffling  between  bands,  hemstitching,  puffing,  quilting, 
under-braiding  and  shirring. 

Remember  this  Instruction  Book  is  free  to  every  purchaser  of  a  “Silver  Star” 
or  any  one  of  our  various  grades  of  “Jewels.”

Orange  Mass.,  May  2,  ’08 
Gentlemein-The  Jewel  Sewing  Machine  came  last

the  reduced  price  of  $15.90  and  only  our  enormous  buying 
capacity  enables  us  to  obtain  this  machine  at  a  figure,  which

top  of  the  ten.

instruction  book  describes  this  perfectly 
The  improved  stitch  regulator  is  found  on  the  bed  plate 
in  front  of  the  upright  arm.  By  simply  unfastening  a  screw 
and  sliding  it  from  or  toward  you,  short  or  long;stitones  may 
be  made,  thus  giving  you  a  range  of  work  not  found  in  any 
other  make  machine  sold  elsewhere,  at  our  figure.  -  $ 

The  self-setting  needles  for  this  machine  are  the  very 
best  grade  of  needles  it  is  possible  to  procure.  Each  needle 
is  inspected  and  tested  as  to  size,  temper,  position  of  the 
eye,  etc. 

Tup  CUIITTI  F  an<*  sllut^e  carrier  are  made  of  the 
I  RE  vnU  I  I  LC  finest  hardened  tool  steel,  the  latter  is 
so  constructed  that  the  shuttle  is  always  held  firmly  in  place 
and  never  rattles  when  the  machine  is  in  operation;  -- 

mnnnn|||  UflUnCD  is  always  in  position  and  ready  to  operate. 

DUuOlIl  VVlIl&JLIf  The  machine  is  fitted  with  a  releasing  device 
on  the  under  wheel  which  enables  the  operator  to  use  the  bobbin  winder 
without  moving  the  working  parts  of  the  machine  or  removing  the  work 
from  needle  or  presser  foot.  The  winder  is  operated  by  means  of  a  belt 
which  is  placed  in  contact  with  the  small  pulley  on  the  winder.  This  works 
so  smoothly  and  automatically  as  to  make  the  bobbin  working  imperfectly 
in  the  shuttle  almost  an  impossibility,  producing  an  even  tension  and 
greatly  improving  the  perfection  of  the  stitch.

The  arm  is  positively  full  height  and  length,  giving 
a  machine  with  which  any  kind  of  sewing  may  be 
accomplished.  The  bed  plate  is  flush  with  the  table, 
making  not  only  a  more  pleasing  appearance,  but 
also  facilitating  the  work  of  sewing. 

The  working  parts,  such  as  levers,  screws,  plates, 
etc.,  are  highly  polished  and  nickel  plated ;  likewise 
the  hand  wheel  and  face  plate  at  the  head. 

mprpn  operates  with  absolute  positiveness,  as 
rLEll  perfect  a  four  motion  feed  as  was  ever 
devised,  and  feeding  with  certainty  all  classes  of  work 
The  feed  points  are  double,  extending  on  both  sides  of 
the  needle,  and  the  feed  will  lift  to  the  full  stroke  for 
every  stitch,  either  long  or  short. 

The  tension  is  of  the  latest  improved  type  and  situated  con¬ 
veniently  on  the  front  edge  of  the  face  plate.  Has  a  wide  range 
of  adjustment  and  is  so  simple  that  it  operates  perfectly  with 
the  thread  drawn  once  through  it. 

The  automatic  tension  liberator  is  so  constructed  that  the  work 
may  be  removed  with  the  greatest  ease  and  dispatch. 

The  self-setting  needle  is  straight,  short  and  strong  and  is  made 
with  an  enlarged  shank  flattened  in  proper  gradation  with  different 
size  needles,  insuring  an  absolutely  perfectly  setting  needle.  It  is  held  by  a  patent 
needle  clamp  which  holds  it  securely,  at  the  same  time  permitting  ready  removal  for 
the  purpose  of  changing. 

The  bobbin  winder  is  automatic  in  its  action  and  winds  the  bobbin  uniformly, 
thus  preventing  breakage  of  the  lower  thread  while  sewing. 

The  shuttle  is  positive  self-threading.  It  is  made  from  the  finest  tool  steel, 
tempered,  polished  and  nickel  plated. 

The  shuttle  carrier  is’of  a  special  design,  fitted  with  steel  spring  lining,  which 
counterbalances  the  weight  of  the  shuttle,  thus  eliminating  the  disagreeable  clicking 
and  rattling  so  noticeable  in  other  machines.

The  Wonderful  Patented  Improved 

EDISON 

Sewing  Machine 

The  great  feature  to  be  remembered  in  connection 
with  the  improved  Edison  Sewing  Machine  is  that  it  can 
be  operated  by  anyone.  So  remarkably  simple  and  per¬ 
fect  is  the  improved,  patented  mechanism  that  it  does 
not  get  out  of  order  and  never  requires  the  service  of  a 
repair  man.  There  are  few  adjustments  to  make  and 
every  thing  is  so  simple  and  up-to-date  that  even  those 
who  have  been  utter  failures  at  sewing  on  other  mach¬ 
ines  have  found  the  Edison  machine  one  that  even  they 
could  operate  and  on  which  they  could  do  the  finest  kind 
of  work.  We  illustrate  on  this  page  a  few  of  the  impor¬ 
tant  features  that  go  to  make  these  machines  the  most 
perfect  and  reliable  of  any  machine  on  the  market,  re¬ 
gardless  of  cost  We  claim,  without  hesitancy,  that  the 
Edison  has  no  equal,  not  even  by  those  machines 
which  sell  for  twice  and  three  times  the  price  we  ask. 

The  Ball-Bearing  Features 

ical  ingenuity,  making  the  “Improved  Edison”  the 
most  genuine  ball-bearing  machine  ever  produced, 
hence  the  most  perfect.  in  operative  qualities,  the 
lightest  and  easiest  running  and  one  that  makes  the 
least  possible  noise  of  any  machine  made,  used  or  sold. 

The  Head  is  Shapely,  of  perfect  pattern,,  designed 
l  IIP  nCCTU  on  thg  iatest  models  of  perfection.  It  is 
the  largest  and  has  the  longest,  strongest,  and  most 
satisfactory  arm  ever  used  on  a  sewing  machine.  It 
is  made  of  the  very  best  iron,  is  smoothly  finished  and  heavily 
seven  coats  of  the  best  French  enamel,  baked  on.  Is  hand  polisr

tifully  nickel-plated  and  embossed,  and  in  connection  with  the  nickel-plated  auto¬ 
matic  bobbin-winder,  nickel-plated  medallion,  nickel  plated  upper  tension,  polished 
steel  needle  bar,  and  nickel  plated  hand  wheel,  furnishes  the  most  handsome  sew¬ 
ing  machine  head  in  the  world.  Inside  mechanism  of  working  parts  is  the  most 
perfect  in  every  detail.  The  main  shaft  and  connecting  parts  are  made  of  the 
finest  case-hardened  steel,  highly  polished  with  every  bearing  or  wearing  point  ac¬ 
curately  fitted  and  adjusted.  It  has  the  latest  adjustable  bearings  with  improved 
take-up  features,  making  “lost  motion"  impossible;  for  as  the  bearings  wear  from

Latest  Improved  Ball 
Bearing  Mechanism. 

To  meet  the 
universal 
demand  for 
Ball  Bearing 
Stand,  we  have 
a  d  o  p  t  ed  the 
latest  improve¬ 
ments  in  this 
feature,  as  may 
be  easily  seen 
from  this  illus¬ 
tration.  It  is 
the  best  on  the  market,  runs  quiet 
and  swift,  and  its  simplicity  is  one 
of  the  main  points  in  which  it 
excels  all  others.  This  view  shows 

_  _ tional  view  of  the  hub  of  balance 

wheel  in  which  ball  bearings  are  placed.  The  balls  and  parts  are  made  from  the 
best  tool  steel,  case  hardened  and  smoothly  finished.  All  wear  and  lost  motion  can 
be  taken  up  by  the  turn  of  an  adjusting  screw.  The  clumsy  feature  so  common 
in  most  ball-bearing  devices  are  entirely  eliminated  in  this  and  we  are  positive  the 
wearing  qualities  excel  by  a  very  great  percentage  those  possessed  by  any  other 
device  known.  Our  Ball  Bearing  Stand  positively  produces  the  lightest  running 
Sewing  Machine  ever  Manufactured. 

The  picture  below  shows  box  of

includes  the 
very  best

These  attach¬

very  finest 
improved  de¬ 
vices  and  are 
far  in  advance 
o  f  the  old 


fashioned  complicated  parts  on  nine  tenths  of  other  machines.  They  are  extremely 
simple  and  easy  to  use  and  there  is  no  kind  of  sewing  that  cannot  be  done  per¬ 
fectly.  Remarkable  new  devices  for  hemming,  felling,  binding  tucking,  quilting,

“Improved  Edison”  Self-Threading  Cylinder  Shuttle 

A  perfect  cylinder  steel  shuttle  open 
at  one  end,  entirely  self -threading, 
easy  to  put  in  and  take  out,  holds  a 
bobbin  that  carries  a  large  amount 
of  thread.  There  are  no  holes  to  thread 
through,  no  spring  to  thread  under, 
no  latch  to  open  or  turn,  making  it 
the  most  easily  threaded  shuttle  in  use.  It  is  so  simple  that  it  can  be  threaded  in 
the  dark  by  two  motions  of  the  hand,  forward  and  backward.  The  tension  is  even 
and  perfect,  and  can  be  changed  without  removing  the  shuttle  from  the  machine 
thereby;  saving  much  time  and  avoiding  trouble  and  annoyance.  Owing  to  its  sim¬ 
plicity  it  is  impossible  to  thread  the  shuttle  wrong.  It  is  made  of  the  finest  steel 
tempered  for  wearing  qualities,  smoothly  finished  and  tension  regulated  by  a  care¬ 
fully  tempered  spring.  The  opening  is  extra  large  with  ample  provision  for  the  in¬ 
sertion  of  an  extra  long  bobbin. 

TH@  Case  The  construction  of  the  cabinet  or  wood  work  is  known  as  the  improved 
I  IIC  veneer  process,  which  is  the  best  known  for  sewing  machine  cabinet 

work.  There  are  layers  r.f  wood  in  the  table  tops  and  in  the  bent  covers.  The  joints 
are  perfectly  matched  and  the  exterior  is  handsomely  polished.  The  elaborateness 
and  fineness  of  finish  depend  upon  the  price,  as  we  show  many  styles.  All  drawer 
cases  are  of  the  skeleton  frame  style,  which  is  the  most  popular  and  of  the  neatest, 
make.  Drawers  are  strongly  reinforced ;  locks  and  darwer  pulls  in  varied  designs.

The  patent  guide  attachmeri  pre¬ 
vents  the  thread  from  running  over  the 
ends  of  the  bobbin,  distributes  evenly 
from  end  to  end,  putting  more  thread 
on  the  bobbin  than  can  be  put  on  by  any  other 
way.  There  are  Bobbin  Winders  made  to  look 
like  the  improved  Edison,  but  they  lack 
those  vital  improvements  that  only  the  Edison  has.

EMCfllt  Sewing  Machines  and  Jewel  Sewing  Machines 
EUIDUH  Are  known  as  Standard  Makes  ail  overthe  World 


What  the  Name  Means 

perfect  sewing  machine  should  last  a  life-time.  An  Edison 
or  a  Jewel  will  last  a  life-time.  These  two  celebrated  makes 
are  well  known  as  the  standard  in  every  country  of  the 
world.  Over  552,800  Edison  Machines  are  now  in  use 
and  approximately  580,000  Jewel  Machines,  making  in 
all  a  total  of  over  a  million.  Think  of  it !  A  million 
sewing  machines  with  their  owners  scattered  through  every 
state  in  the  Union  and  every  country  on  the  globe.  Results 
such  as  these  are  not  accomplished  by  the  average  sewing 
machine  manufacturer. 


A  World-Wide  Reputation  attained 

through  the  making  of  an  “ordinary”  product.  It’s  the 
exceptional  things  that  find  their  place  at  the  top  of  the  list ; 
and  Edison  machines  and  Jewel  machines  lead  all  others  in 
points  innumerable.  There  are  more  of  them  in  use — they 
contain  more  important  improvements — and  they  do  a  finer 
quality  of  work  than  any  other  make.  You  don’t  take  any 
chances  when  you  order  an  Edison  or  a  Jewel — the  names 
stand  for  all  that  is  good  in  a  sewing  machine. 

We  are  the  only  concern 
in  the  country  selling 
strictly  high  grade  sewing  machines  on  credit  by  mail  at 
factory  prices.  We  are  the  factory’s  distributors  of  the 
famous  Edison  machines  and  also  of  the  celebrated  Jewel 
machines  and  by  virtue  of  our  immense  contracts  control 
the  prices.  You  may  know,  therefore,  that  our  figures  on 
these  well  known  machines  have  been  reduced  to  the  point 
where  they  represent  bare  factory  production  cost  plus  our 
small  percentage  of  profit. 

No  other  firm  is  allowed  to  sell  them — the  great  Edison 
Sewing  Machines  or  the  famous  Jewels.  We  certainly 


had  to  have  a  great  deal  of  confidence  in  these  machines, 
as  well  as  in  the  public,  in  order  to  agree  to  sell  all  these 
big  manufacturers  can  make  for  us — but  at  the  prices 
quoted  in  this  catalogue  we  are  sure  to  sell  all  and  more 
than  our  agreement  calls  for.  Such  grand  sewing  machine 
bargains  were  never  before  offered  by  any  concern  in  the 
world. 

No  matter  who  you  are  or  where  you  live  you  can  buy 
one  of  our  wonderful  sewing  machines  at  absolute  factory 
price  and  have  every  advantage  that  our  famous  easy -way 
to-pay-plan  affords  in  paying  for  it. 

Points  Of  Superiority  section  of  our  catalog , 

which  is  devoted  to  sewing  machines,  we  show  illustrations 
and  descriptions  of  the  construction  of  many  important 
parts  in  which  our  wonderful  machines  excel,  although 
they  have  dozens  of  special  advantages  over  other  kinds 
of  machines  which  for  lack  of  space  we  are  forced  to  omit 
mention.  These  machines  will  do  every  class  of  work 
and  do  it  perfectly — will  take  every  kind  and  size  of  thread 
— will  operate  with  less  motive  power  and  less  noise  than 
any  other  first  class  machine  made. 

Each  individual  and  separate  part  has  been  worked 
out  by  experts  and  the  assembled  machines  represent  that 
perfection  which  is  attained  only  after  years  and  years 
of  practical  experience.  Hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars 
have  been  expended  by  the  manufacturers  during  the  past 
fifteen  years  in  experimenting  and  perfecting  the  various 
different  parts,  with  the  result  that  our  this  year’s  models 
represent  the  highest  attainment  of  mechanical  perfection. 
All  parts  are  interchangeable  and  any  broken  part  can 
always  be  replaced.  Rare  indeed  are  the  cases  where  this 
is  necessary,  but,  should  any  part  be  wanted,  it  can  be 
supplied  immediately.

mechanism  of  this  improved  Hand  Machine  has 
been  constructed  with  strict  regard  to  simplicity 
and  efficiency.  -There  is  not  a  wheel  or  screw

taking  it  into  his  home  and  examining  it,  wrote 
us  that  he  considered  the  improved  features  and 
perfect  mechanism  of  this  machine  to  be  simply 
wonderful.  This  skilled  mechanic  was  able  to 
appreciate  at  once  the  finer  qualitiesof  the  Edison. 

The  verdict  of  every  one  who  buys  a  Model  ”B” 
Edison  is  the  same;  and  in  soite  of  the  low  price 
it  possesses  all  the  wonderful  Edison  improvements 
which  make  this  line  of  machines  the  quietest 
and  easiest  running  sewing  machines  in  the  world. 


This  is  a  drop  head,  high  arm 
machine,  with  an  absolutely  pos¬ 
itive  and  easy  action  accomplished  with  a  mech¬ 
anism  of  extreme  simplicity.  The  head  can  be 
lowered  and  the  beautiful  polished  oak  top  let 
down  so  when  not  in  use,  it  is  converted  into  a 
fine  .stand  which  can  be  used  as  a  table.  When 
ooened  this  top  forms  a  long  solid  table  surface

the  greatest  furniture  expert  in  the  country  said  that  the  Edison  “C”  with  it’s 
improved  simple  mechanism  and  magnificent  cabinet,  exactly  as  shown  on  this 

fage,  is,  in  his  estimation,  the  grandest  sewing  machine  bargain  ever  offered.

with  the  average  machine  are  of  little  utility

the  work  accurately  and  easily.  The  improved

velous  Edison  model  “E”  machine  are  the 
very  highest  of  high  grade  in  every  point  of 
workmanship  material  and  finish  and  are

J  retain  the  old  time  complex  construction,  employing  many  connect¬

ating  parts,  all  of  which  decrease  the  speed  and  accuracy  of  the 
i  machine  and  make  it  difficult  to  operate  and  easy  to  get  out  of 
order.  These  disadvantages  are  overcome  in  the  Edison  which  has

EDISON  “G”  DESK  CABINET  SEWING  MACHINE 


This  is  the  well  known  Edison  style  “G”  with 
Automatic  Folding  Cabinet  of  exclusive  style  and , 
superior  construction.  Unlike  other  catalog  houses 
we  equip  our  cabinet  machines  with  the  very  best 
sewing  mechanism  rather  than  to  put  out  an  over 
elaborate  cabinet  at  the  expense  of  the  running 
parts  of  the  machine.  And  we  offer  in  this 
machine,  not  only  the  finest  interior  working 
mechanism  but  also  a  cabinet  that  is  not  excelled 
by  any  manufacturer  of  sewing  machines  in  the  world 

THE  CABINET  is  a  piece  of  art  in  cabinet  work,  ex¬ 
traordinarily  handsome  in  design  and  appearance,  mag¬ 
nificently  rich  in  equipment.  It  is  built  on  a  massive 
base  with  neatly  carved  corners,  mitred  into 
same,  with  solid  quarter-sawed  oak  of  selected  grain  used 
in  the  panels  all  around.  In  fact,  the  cabinet  must  be 
seen  in  order  that  its  beauty  can  be  fully  appreciated,  as 
it  is  almost  impossible  to  convey  an  accurate  idea  of  what 
a  handsome  cabinet  it  is  by  description.  It  is  highly 
polished  and  finished  with  all  the  elegance  of  high-grade 
furniture  made  to  take  it’s  place  in  the  home  among  the 
richest  and  most  costly  furnishings.  It  is  mounted  on 
rollers  easily  moved  from  place  to  place  smoothly 
passing  over  carpet  as  easily  as  over  a  floor  that  is  bare. 
A  strong,  durable  desk  rail  surmounts  the  top,  adding 
greatly  to  its  rich  appearance.  - 

WHEN  CLOSED  This  cabinet  has  every  appearance 
of  a  first  class,  stylish  writing  desk,  and  may  be  used  as 
such.  In  addition  to  the  beautiful  carvings,  this  cabinet 
is  richly  ornamented  as  shown  in  the  picture.  By  opening 
the  cabinet  for  use,  the  head  is  brough  automatically 
in  place  by  a  practical  and  patent  device,  a  lever  arrange¬ 
ment  that  is  not  complicated  by  unnecessary  mechanism, 
but  easily  operated  with  but  slight  resistance,  the  head 
being  perfectly  balanced,  so  as  to  lift  up  into  place  with 
ease  and  exactness.  Ample  provision  is  made  to  accom¬ 
modate  attachments,  accessories,  writing  paper,  etc. 
Each  cabinet  is  furnished  complete  with  lock  and  key, 
so  that  when  the  machine  is  not  in  use  the  door  may  be 
closed  and  tightly  locked,  securing  the  machine  head, 
attachments,  etc.,  against  interference  by  children,  and 
at  the  same  time  incasing  all  working  parts  where  they 
will  not  accumulate  dust  or  dirt. 

SIMPLICITY  OF  CONSTRUCTION  is  a  marked  feature  and 

clear  advantage  of  this  cabinet  and  marks  it  as  one  vastly 
different  and  far  more  handy  and  convenient  than  any 
other  cabinet-style  machine  made. 

THE  GREAT  EDISON  WORKS  where  the  famous  Edison 
sewing  machines  are  all  made  is  the  largest  sewing 
machine  plant  in  the  world  supplied  with  the  finest  auto¬ 
matic  machinery  and  special  patented  equipment  for 
making  the  very  highest  grade  of  machines.

Our  extensive  system  of  selling  home- 
furnishings  on  credit  to  people  all  over  the 
United  States  has  opened  to  us  an  almost 
limitless  market  for  these  world-famed 
Edison  sewing  machines.  The  manufactur¬ 
ers,  realizing  the  importance  of  this,  have 
made  arrangements  for  us  to  assume  com¬ 
plete  control  of  the  distribution  of  these  ma¬ 
chines  in  this  country.  By  such  a  method 
the  manufacturer  saves  in  the  cost  of 
marketing  his  machines,  for  he  no  longer 
has  to  employ  a  sales  force,  as  the  entire 
output  is  disposed  of  by  us  direct  to  the 
users.  These  facts  explain  the  reasons 
for  the  reductions  in  price  which  we  have 
just  made.  The  price  of  this  machine, 
for  example,  was  $32.00  but  by  giving  our 
customers  the  advantage  of  every  penny 
saved  in  cost  of  production  we  have 
reduced  the  price  to  only  $26.95.

*snb  °i  .en^re  machine  js  constructed  along  entirely  new  and  improved  lines 
embodying  features  never  before  included  in  a  ly  sewing  machine  head.  It  has  an 

extra  high  arm  and  unusually  strong 
operating  parts,  fitting  it  not  only  for 
household  work,  but  also  for  the  use  of 
dressmakers  and  tailors  who  require  a 
machine  of  the  highest  grade  cap¬ 
able  of  doing  the  greatest  range  of  work, 
trom  extremely  heavy  to  extremely  light 
and  both  fancy  and  simple  sewing.  It  is 
so  well  made  that  it  will  stand  the  wear 
and  tear  of  hard  and  constant  usuage, 
and  it  will  do  perfect  work  with  all  grades 
of  cotton  and  silk  thread.  It  never 
breaks  the  thread  as  do  many  machines 
when  turned  in  the  wrong  direction.  It

Do  not  confuse  a  thoroughly  high  grade  full  ball-bearing  machine  like  this 
magnificent  Edison '“H”shown  here,  with  the  common  roller-bearing  machines 
offered  at  various  prices.  Edison  full  ball-bearing  machines  stand  in  a  class  with  a 
few  other  high  grade  machines  of  wide  reputation,  and  the  only  difference  now  be¬ 
tween  the  Edison  and  the  best  other  machine  you  would  name  is  that  the  Edison  is 
more  improved  and  at  the  same  time  much  lower  in  price.  There  is  no  $50  machine 
on  the  market  today  that  has  all  the  improved  features  contained  in  the  Edison.

cabinet  is  made  throughout  of  the  finest  quarter-sawed  oak  of  beautiful  grain  and 
is  finished  to  a  high  polish  equal  to  the  finish  on  the  finest  piano.  The  oak  is 
thoroughly  air-seasoned  and  kiln-dried  before  it  is  made  into  the  cabinet ,  to  prevent 
possible  warping  or  checking  and  the  finished  cabinet  with  its  beautiful  carvings 
and  rich  golden  finish  is  an  ornament  to  any  home.  Shipping  Weight,  140  lbs.

EDISON  "I 


ii  K  M  Sewing  Machine 


The  Best,  Most  Improved  and  Highest 
Grade  Cabinet  Sewing  Machine  Made. 


There  is  an  equally  heavy  demand  for  this  machine  as  for  our 
lowest  priced  Edison.  When  you  buy  an  Edison  you  are  getting 
full  value  received,  and  if  the  price  is  more  on  one  than  on  another, 
it  is  because  the  actual  cost  of  production  is  proportionately  higher. 

This  model  “I”  Automatic  Lift  Two  Door  Desk,  Ball  Bearing 
Cabinet  Sewing  Machine  is  positively  the  best  machine  ever  sold 
at  any  price  and  has  numerous  advantages  over  other  high  grade 
makes  that  are  sold  at  from  $40,  to,  $60.  because  of  the  wonderful 
Edison  improvements.  You  are  therefore  getting  a  regular  $60 
sewing  machine  as  far  as  the  quality  and  perfectness  of  each  and  every 
part  is  concerned,  in  addition  to  new  improvements  which  make  the 
Edison  so  much  lighter  and  easier  to  operate.  The  elegance  and  beauty 
combined  with  the  strength  and  lasting  qualities  of  this  machine  make  it 
one  of  great  popularity  with  dressmakers  and  people  who  have  large 
quantities  of  sewing  to  be  done  and  who  want  the  very  best,  easiest  run¬ 
ning  and  handsomest  machine  to  be  found.

TUT  HEAD  furnished  with  this  superb  cabinet  is  absolutely  the  finest 
■  n tHU  sewing  machine  head  ever  placed  in  a  machine.  It  could 

not  be  made  better,  for  it  contains  every  Edison  improvement  which  simplifies 
its  running  mechanism  to  a  point  not  reached  by  any  other  make.  This  Edison 
“I”  Head  is  the  pride  of  the  great  Edison  plant  and  is  considered  by  experts  to  be 
the  most  perfect  example  of  the  greatest  achievements  of  mechanical  engineering 
as  applied  to  sewing  machines. 

Latest  Improved  Spring  Tension  Cylinder  Shuttle. 

The  Schuttle  used  with  our  improved  Edison  Model  “I”  machine  is  the  very 
best  on  the  market.  It  is  positively  self  threading,  with  no  hole  to  thread  through 
and  no  latch  to  open.  You  simply  hold  the  shuttle  in  one  hand,  and  guide  the 
thread  with  the  other.  Two  simple  movements  of  the  hand,  backward  and 
forward,  and  the  shuttle  is  threaded  ready  for  use.  It  is  made  of  the  finest  steel 
tempered  for  wearing  qualities,  smoothly  finished  and  tension  regulated  by  a  care¬ 
fully  tempered  spring.  The  opening  is  extra  large,  with  ample  provision  for  the 
nsertion  of  an  extra  large  bobbin,  filled  with  thread. 

Automatic  Bobbin  Winder, 

This  machine  has  the  latest  improved  Edison  automatic  Bobbin  Winder,  which 
permits  of  winding  the  bobbin  without  running  the  machine  or  interfering  with  the 
goods  being  sewed.  It  is  unnecessary  to  unthread  the  machine  or  disarrange 
the  work  in  the  least  when  winding  the  bobbin;  a  point  certainly  worth  considering. 
The  device  is  so  simple  that  a  child  may  operate  it  with  ease.  It  winds  the  thread 
on  the  bobbin  systematically,  evenly  and  as  regularly  as  on  the  spool. 


THE  CABINET 


This  Model  “I”  Edison  machine  has  the  most 
complete  and  strongest  built  desk  cabinet  ever  con¬ 
structed.  It  is  of  magnificent  art-style  design,  looks  just  like  a  writing  desk  when 
closed,  and  is  made  of  the  choicest  quarter-sawed  oak  with  piano  finish.  No  finer 
piece  of  furniture  ever  graced  the  sewing  room  of  the  most  palatial  mansion  than 
this  our  beautiful  Model  “I”  cabinet.  The  illustration  gives  only  a  general  idea 
of  this  superior  cabinet — to  appreciate  the  surpassing  excellence  of  the  design,  the 
wood,  the  carving  and  the  finish  you  must  see  the  cabinet  itself. 


Accessories  Free. 


We  furnish  the  Machine  complete  with  all  the  accessories  Free  of  Charge 
These  include,  one  oil  can  with  oil,  one  gauge  and  gauge  screw,  five  bobbins,  one 
combination  screw  driver,  one  hemmer,  package  of  needles,  and  one  complete 
instruction  book  printed  in  English,  German,  French,  Spanish  and  Scandinavian. 


Exclusive  Improvements 

Thousands  of  dollars  are  spent  at  the  factory 
each  year  in  making  tests  and  experiments 
which  lead  to  improvements  in  sewing 
machine  construction.  As  soon  as  an  im¬ 
provement  is  found  thoroughly  practical, 
after  exhaustive  tests,  it  is  patented  and 
becomes  the  exclusive  property  of  this  com¬ 
pany.  And  there  is  no  machine  in  the  world 
today  regardless  of  name  or  price  that  has 
anything  to  compare  with  the  improved  feat¬ 
ures  of  the  Edison.  There  is  no  other  machine 
th,  _  runs  so  easy,  works  so  positively  and  is  made  on  such  thoroughly  scientific 
principles.  Even  our  competitors  will  grant  that  the  Edison  is  a. strictly  high 
grade  machine,  and  in  fact  often  quote  their  machines  to  be“as  good  as  an  Edison.” 
No  stronger  evidence  of  the  high  qualities  and  superior  advantages  of  Edison 
machines  could  be  given  than  this  very  fact  that  they  are  imitated.

OUR  PRESIDENT  SAID 

el  ‘  I’  sewing  machine  in  my  own  home,  and  I 
have  questioned  every  dressmaker  who  has  ever 
operated  it,  regarding  the  various  points  of  its 
construction,  to  learn,  if  possible,  of  any  feature 
of  this  machine  which  could  be  improved  upon; 
and  from  the  evidence  thus  gathered  I  know  I 
am  safe  in  declaring  it  to  be  the  most  perfect 
machine  ever  marketed.” 

We  have  thousands  of  letters  on  file  which 
have  been  received  from  purchasers  of  Edison 
machines  and  the  consensus  of  opinion  is  that 
the  Edison  improvements  make  a  world  of  dif¬ 
ference  in  the  work  of  sewing  and  take  away  all 
of  the  trying  incidents  which  occur  to  the  aver¬ 
age  operator  of  the  average  machine.

SCREENS 

At  50^  to  $5.35  we  show  seven  greatest 
screen  bargains  ever  offered. 

A  Handy  Household  Article 

A  screen  can  be  put  to  so  many  useful  purposes  that 
no  home  should  be  without  one  or  more.  For  example 
in  case  of  sickness  screens  are  used  in  innumerable 
ways.  They  are  universally  used  in  hospitals.  They 
are  placed  around  the  sick  bed  to  exclude  the  light; 
they  can  be  placed  in  front  of  an  open  window  to  les¬ 
sen  the  direct  draught,  thus  avoiding  the  necesity  of 
closing  the  window,  and  numerous  other  ways.  Where 
two  beds  are  placed  close  together,  place  a  screen  be¬ 
tween  them  and  the  sleepers  will  not  breathe  into 
each  other’s  faces.  Above  all  they  are  essential 
rvnere  privacy  is  wanted.  Indeed,  the  uses  to  which 
a  screen  can  be  put  suggest  themselves  so  rapidly 
that  it  would  take  more  space  than  we  have  at  our 
disposal  to  describe  them.

Because  no 
other  con¬ 
cern  in  the 
world  ever 
offered  a  din¬ 
ing  table  of 
this  descrip¬ 
tion  at  such 
a  sensation¬ 
ally  low  price,  we 
feel  it  necessary  to 
explain  how  we 
can  afford  to  do  it.  In  the  first  place, 
we  have  under  our  control  the  largest  and  best  equipped 
table  factory  in  the  state.  We  save  you  all  the  profits  of 
the  jobber  and  retailer.  We  sell  direct  to  you  at  cost 
prices  plus  our  one  percentage  of  profit.  Y our  home  mer¬ 
chant  has  to  charge  you  a  higher  price,  including  his 
profits  and  the  wholesaler’s  profits  on  top  of  the  factory 
price.  Michigan  is  the  greatest  furniture  producing 
state  in  the  Union;  and  we  are  located  in  Detroit,  where 
we  save  freight  charges  from  factory  to  warehouse. 

The  big  chain  of  factories  represents  a  capital  of 
over  ten  million  dollars  and  their  output  is  so  great 
and  their  facilities  for  turning  out  high  grade 
furniture  so  much  in  advance 
of  the  average  that  we  can  and 
do  completely  out-distance  all 
competition,  when  quality  is 
considered.

round.  The  massive  and  beautifully  carved  pedestal,  with  its  graceful 
lines  is  a  pillar,  of  great  strength  supporting  the  main  weight  of  the 
table.  The  heavy  legs  are  of  appropriate  proportions  and  terminate 
in  richly  carved  claw  feet. 


In  the  mak¬ 
ing  of  this

Each  piece

Plenty  of  time  is  given  for  each  coat  of  varnish  to  dry,  so 
there  will  be  no  chance  for  it  to  crack,  peel  or  get  rough — 
a  fault  which  “  Gold  Medal  Brandy”  furniture  is  proof 
against.  The  construction  of  this  table  is  the  best  that 
modern  machinery  and  skilled  workmen  can  produce. 
Every  piece,  no  matter  how  small,  is  thoroughly  well- 
made,  inspected  and  carefully  fitted — thus  every  de¬ 
tail  in  the  construction  is  given  the  utmost  care  so  as 
to  insure  a  finished  product  that  will  withstand  the 
closest  inspection  and  most  critical  examination. 

How  Much  You  Save 

We  realize  clearly  that  this  table  is 
actually  better  than  thousands  that 
are  retailed  for  $25.00,  and  that’s  why 
we  emphasize  so  strongly  to  you  the 
importance  of  this  rare  bargain 
special  at  our  reduced  price. 

Beware  of  Imitations 

Our  fine  “Gold  Medal  Brand” 
furniture  has  a  world-wide  repu¬ 
tation  and  is  often  copied  by  fac¬ 
tories  supplying  regular  mail¬ 
order  houses  and  country  dealers. 
Anyone  would  know  the  differ- 
encebetween  genuine  Gold  Medal 
Brand  furniture  and  the  imitation  by  seeing  both 
kinds  together,  but  many  people  are  often  de¬ 
ceived  by  a  similarity  in  pictures.  That’s  why  we 
warn  you  not  to  be  misled  by  pictures  of  goods 
represented  to  be  “the  same”  or  “just  as  good”  as 
Gold  Medal  Brand.  You  know  good  quality  when 
you  see  it — -and  we  invite  comparison.  We 
would  have  you  order  this  magnficent  Gold  Medal 
Brand  table,  take  it  into  your  home  and  use  it  and  compare  it  with  goods 
you  have  bought  elsewhere,  then  you  will  appreciate  the  magnificence 
of  the  genuine  and  will  be  able  to  see  for  yourself  what  a  wonderful 
improvement  even  one  piece  of  real  Gold  Medal  Brand  furniture  will 
make  in  the  appearance  of  the  whole  room.  It’s  hard  to  describe  that 
peculiar  grandeur  and  consummate  perfection  which  distinguish  Gold 
Medal  Brand  goods — it’s  hard  to  express  in  words  the  shimmering 
beauty  of  a  piece  of  polished  Gold  Medal  Brand  furniture.

Gold  Medal  Quality. 


This  sideboard  is 
of  the  kind  of 
furniture  that 

won  the  gold  medal  described  on  another  page  of 
this  catalogue.  It  is  the  kind  that  is  made  to  guaran¬ 
tee— the  kind  that  will  win  your  admiration  because 
of  its  elegant  appearance,  and  continue  to  be  a 
favorite  because  of  its  splendid  and  lasting  quality. 
‘•Gold  Medal  Brand”  furniture  is  sold  exclusively  by  us,  at 
lowest  price,  making  it  possible  for  people  of  very  limited 
means  to  have  the  same  high  grade  of  furniture  as  that 
which  is  usually  seen  in  palatial  residences  and  in  the 
homes  of  the  wealthy. 


You  Can  Have 


this  kind  of  furniture  in  your 
home  without  pay- 
ingone  centmore  for 
it  than  you  have  been  in  the  habit  of  paying  for 
the  ordinary  grade.  There  is  no  need  of  people 
paying  the  excessive  profits  charged  by  local 
dealers  or  burdening  themselves  by  paying  su¬ 
perfluous  freight  charges  which  mustof  necessity 
be  included  in  the  selling  prices  quoted  by  most 
mailorder  houses.  It  is  no  longer  necessary  to 
pay  an  exorbitant  price  in  order  to  get  something 
exceptionally  fine.  Gold  Medal  Brand  furniture 
is  all  exceptionally  fine  and  yet  it  costs  no  more 
on  that  account.  The  reason  why  we  can  pro¬ 
duce  such  extraordinary  quality  at  such  rock- 
bottom  prices  is  because  we  have  adopted  a  new 
and  modernized  system  of  merchandising— a 
system  that  is  revolutionizing  the  furniture 
business,  marking  as  it  does  a  new  epoch  in  the 
methods  and  manner  of  selling  and  distributing 
household  goods.  Instead  of  paying  the  whole¬ 
saler’s  profit  and  the  dealer’s  profit,  you  buy 
from  us  direct  and  get  the  lowest  price. 


Detailed  Description. 


pounds. 


You  will 
notice  that 
this  mas¬ 
sive  sideboard  is  remarkably  well  made  and 
richly  carved.  The  top  and  front  drawers  are 
triple  serpentine  shape.  The  large  double  top 
measures  45  inches  wide  by  22  inches  deep.  One 
full  length  drawer  and  two  top  drawers  in  addi¬ 
tion  to  the  large  lower  compartments  furnish  an 
abundance  of  room  for  table  linens,  silverware, 
etc.  One  of  the  top  drawers  is  lined  for  silver¬ 
ware.  Finest  brass  drawer  pulls  of  latest  design 
enchance  the  general  appearance.  Fitted  with 
easy-rolling  casters.  The  large  oval  mirror  is 
unusally  showy  because  it  is  extra  heavy  genu¬ 
ine  French  bevel  plate,  perfectly  clear  and  of 
large  size,  measuring  28 inches  wide  by  16 inches 
high.  China  and  other  articles  placed  on  top 
and  on  the  two  side  shelves  are  reflected  in  the 
big  mirror,  producing  a  wonderfully  pleasing 
effect.  The  large  canopy  shelf  above  mirror 
gives  ample  room  for  storage  and  display  of 
china  ware,  cut  glass,  etc.  It  would  be  hard 
to  select  a  sideboard  that  has  more  good  fea¬ 
tures  than  this  one,  and  it  would  be  abso¬ 
lutely  impossible  to  find  a  better  bargain. 

It  is  made  throughout  of  the  very  finest 
a»r  *tja!v?ne j’  selected  solid  oak  and  the  beauty  of  the  wood  is  brought  out  bv  the  exquisite  finish.  In  the  realm

I  take  much  pride  in  this  line  of  buffets. 
It  is  a  well  known  fact  that  buffets  are  be¬ 
coming  more  popular  every  day,  and  I  think 
the  manager  of  this  department  of  my  busi¬ 
ness  has  done  remarkably  well  in  securing 
such  extraordinarily  low  prices  from  the 
factory.  I  have  personally  examined  this 
line  of  buffets  and  I  find  them  even  better 
than  the  pictures  show.  The  prices  I  con¬ 
sider  exceptionally  low  and  feel  certain  that 
every  sale  will  mean  a  highly  pleased 
customer.

Art-Style  China  Closets 

Magnificent  designs.  Prices  no  higher  than  for  ordinary  grades.  We  show 
the  greatest  values  in  the  world,  barring  None. 


Our  China  Closets  are  not  low  priced  at  the  expense  of 
quality.  We  guarantee  each  china  closet  to  be  superior  to  any 
other  sold  elsewhere  at  our  figure. 


We  can  afford  to  sell  high  grade  dependable  furniture  at  the  world’s 
lowest  prices  because  of  the  tremendous  prestige  we  enjoy  on  account  of 
our  enormous  purchasing  power.  We  receive  price  concessions  from 
manufacturers  no  other  dealer  is  able  to  command.

to  You  upon  receipt  of . 

We  will  give  You  an  ENTIRE  YEAR  to  Pay  off  the  balance. 


Upon  this  and  the  two  following  pages  we  show  the  finest  line  of  China 
Closets  in  the  world.  More  elaborate  china  closets  may  be  made,  but  none 
more  stylish,  more  beautiful  in  design,  more  symmetrical  in  shape  or  more 
substantially  constructed. 

Our  art-style  China  Closets  are  enjoying  great  popularity  because  of  their 
well  recognized  merits.  Do  not  be  satisfied  with  any  other.  Don’t  let  any 
dealer  tell  you  that  his  is  “just  as  good.” 

Remember  every  dollar  you  invest  in  our  art-style  or  “Fashion”  furniture 
does  double  duty.  As  compared  to  what  other  dealers  ask  for  their  ordinary 
china  closets  our  prices  represent  a  saving  of  30  to  50  per  cent.  Bear  in  mind, 
lower  priced  closets  may  be  offered  you  but  not  with  that  guarantee  of  com¬ 
plete  satisfaction  such  as  we  give  with  every  china  closet  sold  by  us.  No 

honest  dealer  will  guarantee  any  china  closet  cheaper  than  our  13F-101,  whereas 
a  dishonest  dealer  will  guarantee  anything  so  as  to  get  your  trade. 

Our  China  Closets  are  made  in  a  factory  controlled  by  us  and  situated  right 
here  in  Detroit.  We  exercise  the  greatest  diligence  regarding  the  material 
and  construction  applied,  in  the  making  of  these  closets.  We  permit  only  the 
choicest  lumber  and  the  most  expert  cabinet  makers  within  the  factory.  An¬ 
other  point  to  be  considered  is  that  we  have  no  freight  charges  to  pay  and  our 
remarkable  prices  clearly  reflect  all  the  advantages  we  enjoy  in  the  way  of  low 
original  cost  price. 

We  exercise  the  greatest  care  in  packing,  crating  and  preparing  our  China 
Closets  for  shipment.  We  can  safely  guarantee  perfect  delivery.  Do  not  be 
worried  about  freight  charges  for  they  are  not  to  be  considered  in  view  of  the 
splendid  savings  you  effect  on  account  of  our  extremely  low  prices.

Gold  Medal  Brand  is  different  from  ordinary  furniture. 
It  has  a  different  appearance  and  actually  is  far  supe¬ 
rior,  because  it  is  built  strong  to  endure  hard  and  con¬ 
stant  use — because  it  has  a  style  of  beauty  and 
elegance  of  finish  that  at  once  attracts — because  it  is 
the  substantial,  dependable  kind,  and  bears  the  dis-  ; 
tinguishing  label  of  quality  that  is  a  perpetual 
guarantee  against  shoddy  material  and  poor  work¬ 
manship.  We  are  the  sole  distributers  of  Gold 
Medal  Brand  goods  and  the  large  volume  of  business

ished  golden  oak  and  is  perfectly  mortised  and

The  Elegant  Carving  °  ?

UEOlwl"  fort  and  beauty  to  a  remar kab'e  degree. 
It  was  conceived  by  one  of  the  most  famous  designers  of  “Comfort” 
furniture  in  the  country.  It  is  made  in  our  large  factory  where 
all  our  wonderful  specials  are  manufactured.  We  lay  special  stress 
upon  this  point  because  $6.48  represents  the  bare  cost  of  making 
this  rocker,  plus  our  one  small  per  cent,  of  profit.

adorning  the  head.  The  seat  and  back  are  designed  for  com¬ 
fort  and  are  upholstered  in  black  Boston  Leather,  which  you  will 


find  superior  to  the  cheap  leather  furnished  by  other  dealers  and 
passed  off  as  “genuine.”  The  upholstering  is  securely  fastened  to 
the  massive  frame  with  black  headed  tacks,  which  also  add  to  the 
general  attractiveness  of  the  article.  The  frame  is  made  of  solid 
oak  throughout  and  the  front  posts  are  adorned  with  handsome, 
finely  executed  hand  carving.  The  arms  are  broad  and  high  and 
well  supported  by  heavy  spindles.  The  runners  are  massive  and 
perfectly  balanced.

A  Most  Handsome, 
Most  Comfortable 
and  Most  Durable 
Rocker. 


Superior  quality  is  stamped  in  svery  line  of  this  massive  high 
grade  “Fashion”  Rocker.  The  surpassing  beauty  and  value  of 
this  rocker  at  $10.80  cannot  be  realized  by  looking  at  the  picture, 
even  though  it  is  a  faithful  reproduction  of  the  article  itself.  We 
want  you  to  get  this  rocker  where  you  can  realize  its  value — want 


you  to  take  it  right  into  your  own  home  and  use  it.  That’s  the 
best  way  to  prove  to  your  entire  satisfaction  that  our  goods  are 
not  to  be  compared  with  those  of  common  quality  so  much  adver¬ 
tised  these  days.  We  want  to  make  clear  to  you  that  we  sell 
only  the  highest  grade  goods  at  prices  the  lowest  that  can  be  made 
possible  and  consistent  with  honest  business  methods. 
Therefore  we  say  to  you:  Order  this  magnificent  rocker  at 
once  and  if  it  isn’t  exactly  as  represented  and  entirely  sat¬ 
isfactory;  if  it  isn’t  a  better  value  for  the  money  than  you 
can  get  anywhere  else  in  the  world — send  it  back  and  we 
will  return  the  amount  of  your  first  payment  and  pay  the 
freight  both  ways  besides. 


DESCRIPTION 


In  describing  this  superior  “Fashion” 
Rocker  we  want  to  call  your  attention 
to  the  massive  frame  and  its  extreme  beauty  of  outline. 
There  is  scarcely  a  straight  line  in  it  —  every  piece  being 
beautifully  patterned  so  as  to  make  up  into  a  design  of 
surpassing  elegance. 

THE  DIFFERENCE  “ 

furniture  of  the  People’s  Outfit¬ 
ting  Co.  and  buying  it  of  others 
is  the  difference  between  buying 
highest  quality  goods  at  factory 
prices  and  indifferently  made 
goods  at  “cheap  prices.”  Then, 
too,  our  prices  are  in  every  case 
the  lowest  to  be  found  anywhere 
for  a  similar  quality  of  goods.

PEOPLE’S  OUTFITTING  CO.,  DETROIT,  MICH 


F BASHKIN”  MORRIS 
■CHAIRS  and  ROCKERS 


A  HOME  NECESSITY 

No  home  is  complete  without  one  or 
more  reclining  Morris  chairs  or  rockers. 
Formerly  regarded  as  a  luxury,  only  to  be 
indulged  in  by  the  wealthy,  our  liberal 
easy  payment  plan  together  with  our 
remarkably  low  prices  for  this  splendid 
article,  placed  it  into  immediate  favor,  so 
much  so  that  at  the  outset  our  factories 
could  not  keep  up  with  the  demand. 
Whether  you  work  in  an  office  or  in  the 
field,  in  the  mines  or  in  the  factory,  no 
matter  who  you  are  or  what  you  do,  you 
do  not  know  what  real  pleasure  is  unless 
you  have  experienced  the  feeling  of  genu¬ 
ine  comfort  in  a  large,  roomy,  reclining 
Morris  Chair. 

A  YANKEE  INVENTION 

William  Morris,  a  New  England  Yankee, 
is  the  inventor  of  the  reclining  Morris 
chair,  and  it  Was  named  in  his  honor. 
It  combines  simplicity  of  construction 
with  ease  and  comfort  in  a  greater  degree 
than  any  other  chair.  This  was  the  aim 
of  the  inventor  and  that  it  was  carried  out 
most  perfectly  and  to  the  greatest  degree 
of  efficiency  by  the  maker  of  our  line  of 
“Fashion”  Morris  chairs,  is  a  fact  that  has 
not  been  disputed.  Spacious  seats  with 
superior  spring  construction,  high  backs 
and  broad  arms  render  our  Morris  chairs 
the  most  comfortable  ever  made.  •  You 
will  never  regret  the  purchase  of  a  Morris 
chai^from  us.  This  we  guarantee. 

AS  A  GIFT 

No  better  or  more  appropriate  gift  can 
be  selected  than  one  of  our  splendid  Morris 
chairs.  For  wedding,  birthday  and  Christ¬ 
mas  gifts  it  is  unsurpassed.  It  is  an  arti¬ 
cle  that  will  prove  a  joy  forever,  and  one 


which  the  recipient  will  appreciate  as  long 
as  life  lasts.  No  better  gift  for  combining 
pleasure  with  usefulness  can  be  imagined. 

EASY  PAYMENTS 

You  may  purchase  a  Morris  chair  from 
us  and  pay  for  it  on  such  easy  liberal  pay¬ 
ments  that  you  will  scarcely  notice  tnat 
you  are  paying  for  it.  Whether  you  in¬ 
tend  to  purchase  one  as  a  gift  or  for  your 
own  use,  our  liberal  credit  terms  will  prove 
a  great  convenience  to  you.  By  all  means 
when  sending  us  an  order  for  other  goods 
be  sure  to  include  a  Morris  chair.  The 
additional  first  payment  required  will 
amount  to  scarcely  anything  and  the 
monthly  payments,  in  many  cases,  will 
amount  to  no  more  because  of  this  small 
addition  to  your  order. 

WHY  OUR  PRICES  ARE  SO  LOW 

The  price  attached  to  each  of  the  splen¬ 
did  Morris  chairs  and  rockers  we  show 
speaks  for  itself.  Each  represents  the  bare 
cost  of  manufacture  plus  a  very  small  per¬ 
cent  of  profit.  On  account  of  the  vast 
number  used  by  us  through  the  medium 
of  our  great  distributing  centers  we  are 
able  to  make  and  sell  them  cheaper  than 
any  similar  concern  on  earth,  and  this  is 
clearly  demonstrated  in  the  prices  given 
for  our  cheaper  as  well  as  higher  grade 
numbers.  We  save  you  from  20  to  33  per 
cent  on  each  chair  purchased  from  us  as 
compared  with  any  other  house,  cash  or 
credit. 

“FASHION”  DESIGNS 

A  great  many  manufacturers  copy  our 
Fashion  Designs.  This  in  itself  is  proof 
that  Fashion  furniture  is  the  standard 
'of  excellence.  There  is  no  “just  as  good.” 
We  are  the  only  mail-order  house  selling 
“Fashion”  furniture.  Remember,  you  may 
buy  “Fashion”  Morris  Chairs  from  us  at 
prices  lower  than  you  can  buy  the  ordinary 
kind  from  other  dealers.  Therefore,  why 
be  satisfied  with  inferior  grades  ? 

THE  CONSTRUCTION 

In  the  construction  we  use  only  the 
choicest  kiln  dried,  air  seasoned  birch,  fin¬ 
ished  to  resemble  mahogany.  Each  piece 
of  lumber  that  enters  into  the  make-up  of 
one  of  our  Morris  chairs  is  thoroughly  sea¬ 
soned  and  kiln  dried  and  the  finish  is  of 


the  most  lasting  and  durable  kind.  Plenty 
of  time  is  given  for  each  coat  of  varnish 
to  dry  so  that  in  the  end  we  give  Morris 
chairs  and  rockers  we  can  guarantee,  the 
finish  upon  winch  will  not  crack  or  peel 
or  get  rough,  a  conspicuous  fault  in  those 
offered  elsewhere  at  our  figures  and  said 
to  be  “just  as  good.” 

OUR  RECLINING  ADJUSTMENT 
is  the  simplest  and  most  satisfactory 
made.  There  is  nothing  to  get  out  of 
order  and  it  is  made  of  extra  heavy  triple 
place  brass.  It  will  support  the  heaviest 
weights  and  will  last  a  lifetime. 

THE  CUSHIONS 

are  the  most  comfortable  made  with  the 
choicest  covering  material,  identical  to 
that  used  on  our  best  couches.  Our 
double  prong  warranted  steel  tufting  but¬ 
tons  are  used  on  all  tufted  Morris  chairs. 
For  a  detailed  description  of  the  uphol¬ 
stering  material  used  see  full  page  intro¬ 
duction  to  the  Department  of  Upholstered 
Furniture. 

WE  DOUBLY  GUARANTEE 

each  and  every  Morris  chair  and  rocker 
illustrated  and  described  in  this  catalogue 
to  be  just  exactly  as  represented.  We 
invite  you  to  order  one  on  trial.  x\fter 
receiving  it  in  your  home,  examine  it  very 
carefully  and  if  found  unsatisfactory  in 
any  particular  return  it  to  us  at  our  ex¬ 
pense  and  we  will  refund  your  first  pay¬ 
ment  and  all  freight  expenses.  We  want 
you  to  be  thoroughly  satisfied  with  your 
purchase  before  considering  the  sale  closed. 
DO  NOT  WORRY 

about  freight  charges.  Our  low  prices 
permit  of  such  a  large  saving  that  even 
with  freight  charges  added  you  are  money 
ahead.  Remember,  if  you  were  to  buy 
house  furnishing  goods  in  your  own  town 
from  the  local  dealer  you  still  would  be 
paying  freight  charges,  in  the  price  of  the 
article,  or  indirectly.  This  truth  finds  its 
best  illustration  in  the  manner  in  which  you 
pay  indirect  taxes,  that  is,  in  the  price  of 
each  article  you  purchase.  So  with  freight 
charges.  The  dealer  pays  them  for  you 
when  he  receives  the  goods.  You  then 
pay  them  back  to  him  when  you  purchase 
his  merchandise.  The  better  plan  is  to 
buy  from  us  at  our  money-saving  prices, 
and  to  pay  the  freight  charges  yourself,  or 
directly.

and  with  our  enormous  output,  are  in  a  position  to  offer  this  famous  line  of  beau¬ 
tiful  furniture  at  as  low  or  even  lower  prices  than  the  ordinary  goods 
usually  sell  for.  It’s  a  wonderful  thing  for  people  living  in  other  cities, 
towns  and  in  the  country  districts  to  be  able  to  get  this  magnificent 
furniture  at  such  remarkably  low  prices  and  easy  terms. 

GrCat  OffGr  ^  wou'^  he  Utterly  impossible  under  ordinary  conditions  to  of- 

- I  fer  a  Morris  chair  of  such  exceptional  beauty  and  quality 

at  such  a  startlingly  low  price  but  for  our  enormous  sales  and  tremendous  mail¬ 
order  trade.  We  sell  our  fine  homefurnishings  all  over  the  United  Spates — 
there’s  hardly  a  community  anywhere  in  America  that  hasn’t  heard  of  our 
colossal  institution.  To  emphasize  our  leadership  in  the  making  and  mark¬ 
eting  of  furniture,  we  are  cataloging  these  big  Morris  chairs  at  almost  factory 
cost.  We  are  making  them  in  vast  numbers  so  that  all  who  order  can  be  sup¬ 
plied.  The  demand  for  such  a  chair  is  almost  unlimited  and  the  big  factory  will 
have  a  special  force  working  day  and  night  so  long  as  the  flood  of  orders  contin¬ 
ues  to  roll  in.  People  can  instantly  tell  the  difference  between  this  high  grade 
chair  and  those  usually  sold  at  such  a  low  price;  and  as  many  of  these  chairs  as 
we  sell,  just  that  many  customers  will  become  enthusiastic  over  their  bargains. 

We  gain  thousands  of  permanent  customers  through  the  many  special  bargains 
we  offer. 

Solid  Comfort.  In  all  probability  the  strongest  feature  of  this  mas- 

- : - 1  sive  chair  is  it's  comfort  giving  qualities.  “Easy 

Chairs”  are  the  kind  most  people  want.  Nobody  cares  to  buy  a  chair  for  looks 
alone.  You  may  want  one  that  is  strong  and  substantial  or  one  that  is  handsome 
in  appearance,  but  above  all  things  you  want  it  to  be  comfortable.  It’s  not  the 
simplest  thing  in  the  world  to  make  a  thoroughly  easy  chair.  It  must  have  a  re¬ 
clining  back  that  is  high  enough  to  rest  the  head— it  must  have  a  soft  cushioned 
back;  deep  seat,  thoroughly  upholstered  on  a  spring  foundation,  so  as  to  prevent 
sagging— it  must  be  large  and  commodious  with  all  it’s  upholstering  made  of  such 
fine  materials  that  they  will  not  become  matted  or  out  of  shape.  All  of  these  re¬ 
quirements  in  addition  to  great  strength 
are  essential  in  making  a  thoroughly 
easy  chair. 

This  Morris  Chair  has 

- - -  ex¬ 
actly  just  such  qualities  as  the  above. 

It  is  indeed  the  most  comfortable  Mor¬ 
ris  chair  on  the  market  today,  as  well 
as  the  strongest  and  handsomest  ever 
sold  at  such  a  bargain  price.  Custom¬ 
ers  are  invariably  delighted  with  this  chair 
and  letters  containing  such  words  of  appre¬ 
ciation  as  those  quoted  below  (from  a  cus¬ 
tomer  in  southern  Missouri)  are  received 
by  us  daily:  “Everything  came  all  right. 

The  No.  16L-200  Morris  chair  is  a  beauty. 

My  nephew  clerks  in  a  furniture  store  near 
here  and  he  said  a  chair  like  that  would  cost 
twice  as  much  around  here.” 

Til©  Frame  °f  this  genuine  Gold 
me  riqmc  Medal  Brand  Morris 
chair  is  much  better  than  you  are  accus¬ 
tomed  to  see  in  chairs  usually  sold  for  one- 
third  more  money.  The  oak  is  sawed  so 
the  beautiful  wavy  flake  and  grain  shows 
off  to  best  advantage,  and  the  rich  finish 
gives  a  most  charming  effect.  The  carving 
on  the  front  posts  is  indeed  a  work  of  art 
and  the  massive  carved  heads  on  the  arms 
are  superb.  Note  how  substantially  the 
entire  frame  is  constructed;  how  heavy  and 
strong  each  individual  piece  is  made.  Im¬ 
proved  indestructable  spring  seat  con¬ 
struction  holds  the  bottom  cushion  up  in 
perfect  shape  and  completes  the  soft 
springy  effect,  the  equal  of  which  is  found 
only  in  the  highest  grade  and  best  made 
upholstered  furniture. 


The  “Gold  Medal  Brand”  quality  is  stamped  upon  this  magnificent  Morris  Chair;  and  in  every 
detail,  from  the  casters  op,  the  superior  workmanship  is  conspicuous.  The  well  known  fact  that 

Gold  Medal  Brand  furniture  is  the  finest  furniture  on  the  market  is  no  better  illustrated  than 
in  this  splendid  Morris  chair.  We  are  now  exclusive  Agents  for  “Gold  Medal  Brand”  goods

is  so  even¬ 
ly  laid  and 

so  generously  padded  that  the  cushions  are 
extremely  soft,  resilient  and  comfortable. 

The  back  is  beautifully  tufted  and  these 
deep  tufts  are  permanently  held  in  place 
by  the  strong  tufting  buttons.  The  cover¬ 
ing  material  is  the  best  grade  of  Sultan 
leather  which  is  well  known  to  everyone  as 
the  most  serviceable  of  all  coverings  for 
upholstered  furniture.  You  will  recognize 

at  a  glance  that  the  Sultan  leather  used  on  this  chair  is  not  the  ordin¬ 
ary  grade,  but  a  very  superior  quality,  rich  looking  and  black.  It  will 
outwear  anything  except  hide  leather  and  by  most  people  is  prefer¬ 
red  to  any  other  kind  of  covering.  It  is  used  on  the  finest  upholstered  furniture. 
The  Design.  It  is  unnecessary  to  state  that  this  design  is  one  of  the  most 
- - -  handsome  of  all  Morris  chairs.  You  can  see  from  the  illustra¬ 
tion  that  it  is  unusually  beautiful  and  you  can  depend  upon  it  that  the  chair  itself  is 
exactly  like  the  picture.  The  illustration  is  made  from  a  photographic  reproduction 
and  is  a  faithful  counterpart  of  the  chair.

No.  3L-239.  You’ll  never  again  be  satisfied  with  common  things  after  you  have 
seen  Gold  Medal  Brand  furniture — everybody  notices  the  difference  at  once. 
These  beautiful  and  substantial  'solid  oak  Dressers  are  so  extraordinary  in 
quality  that  it  is  utterly  impossible  for  mail-order  houses  buying  in  the 
usual  way  to  obtain  goods  that  attain  the  same  degree  of  elegance.  For 
many  years  it  has  been  the  ambition  of  certain  manufacturers  to  produce 
a  line  of  furniture  so  good,  and  so  absolutely  reliable  and  trustworthy,  that 
they  could  place  upon  that  furniture  their  stamp  of  approval.  And  not 
until  our  great  mail-order  institution  co-operating  with  the  largest  and 
finest  factories  in  this  country,  started  to  work  on  this  great  plan  was  it 
made  possible.  Today  the  Gold  Medal  Brand  is  known  through¬ 
out  the  United  States  as  the  standard  of  excellence  in  furniture. 


We  Have  Assisted 


in  perfecting  new  designs  and  new 
creations  in  furniture  representing  a 
combination  of  quality,  beauty  and  sturdy  construction,  so  that 
now  the  homes  of  people  in  moderate  circumstances  will  have  the 
same  style  and  air  of  refinement  as  thqse  where  the  most  expen¬ 
sive  furnishings  are  found. 

It  is  impossible  to  describe  in  words  and  by  simple  illustration 
what  a  difference  there  is  in  the  appearance  of  this  magnificent 
furniture.  The  highest  degree  of  perfection  in  material,  work¬ 
manship  and  finish  has  been  attained.  The  Gold  Medal 
Brand  stands  for  something — it’s  a  protection  against  flimsy 
construction — a  distinguishing  mark  of  superior  quality. 


From  Top  to  Bottom 


this  dresser  is  a  model  of  fine  work¬ 
manship,  and  with  its  neat  carvings 
and  elegant  rich  oak  finish,  it 
presents  a  commanding  figure.  It  will  add  grace  and  beauty  to  any 
bedroom  and  it  will  always  be  cherished  by  its  owner.  It  has  that  touch 
of  style,  that  air  of  quality  and  exquisiteness  of  finish  so  characteristic 
of  the  furniture  seen  in  palatial  residences.  And  look  at  the  pricel 
Could  a  bargain  be  more  enticing!  No  woman  would  ask  for  a  finer 
appearing  dresser  and  no  man’s  income  is  too  limited  for  him  to  own 
one.  Think  of  getting  such  a  magnificent  article  for  only  $1,50  cash, 
and  the  use  of  it  in  your  home  while  you  pay  the  balance  in  easy 
monthly  payments  of  only  75  cents.  It’s  easy  to  pay  the  Peo¬ 
ple’s  way  because  you  get  better  goods — because  you  get  lower 
prices — and  because  you  can  pay  a  little  each  month  as  you  go 
along.  Most  everyone  prefers  this  way  of  buying — it  allows 
you  to  use  your  money  for  other  things,  and  besides  it  makes 
it  so  easy  to  have  the  best  of  everything  without 
raising  a  lot  of  cash  to  pay  for  it  all  at  once. 
Our  famous  plan  provides  the  most  convenient 
method  of  paying  for  your  goods  and  we  know 
you  will  appreciate  it.

Detailed  Description 


Measurements 


This  latest  style, 
large  full  size 
dresser  has  a 
double  shaped  top  and  solid  panel  ends,  Two  top 
drawers  of  ample  size  in  addition  to  the  large  full- 
width  lower  drawers  provide  an  abundance  of  space. 
All  of  the  drawers  are  perfectly  fitted  and  move  in 
and  out  with  adequate  ease  and  evenness.  All  posts 
and  cross  bars  are  mortised  and  framed  by  master 
cabinet  makers,  and  each  detail  is  completed  to  abso¬ 
lute  perfection.  The  dresser  is  thoroughly  trimmed 
and  eastered  and  every  item  of  material  used  is 
strictly  high  grade.  The  oak  used  is  a  very  superior 
grade,  perfectly  seasoned  and  kiln  dried.  The  oil. 
the  glue,  the  varnish- — everything  entering  into  the 
construction  is  first  quality.  The  color  is  a  rich 
golden,  and  the  beauty  of  theoakis  further  augmented 
by  the  superb  finish. 

The  large  double  shape  top 
measures  20  by  41  inches, 
with  correspondingly  large 
dimensions  throughout.  The  heavy  French  bevel 
plate  glass  mirror  is  22  inches  high  by  1(1  inches  wide. 
It  is  oval  in  shape  and  rests  in  a  beautiful  rounded 
frame.  The  standards  which  support  the  mirror  on 
either  side  are  most  artistically  designed  and  are  in 
perfect  harmony  with  the  symmetry  of  the  '’resser 
as  a  whole.  The  splendid  mirror  in  this  dresser  is  in 
direct  contrast  with  the  cheap  domestic  plate  so  prev¬ 
alent  in  dressers  usually  sold  at  moderate  prices.  We 
do  not  use  anything  but  the  best  French  plate  glass 
in  our  furniture.  This  point  is  worthy  of  considera¬ 
tion  and  one  that  should  not  be  overlooked. 

All  the  trimmings  are  of 
excellent  grade  and  artis¬ 
tically  made  so  as  to  en¬ 
hance  the  splendid  general  appearance  of  the  article. 
The  neat  carving  on  each  side  of  back  adds  a  finish¬ 
ing  touch  that  completes  the  elegan  t  design. 

It  takes  only  $1.50  to  make  the  first  payment  and 
then  you  have  the  use  of  the  dresser  while  you  are 
paying  the  balance  at  the  rate  of  onl\  75c  a  mo.  Send 
us  the  order  today  with  a  postoffice  money

TLfl  Cjnielt  orderto  have  the  finish  the  right  shade,  the  wood  itself 
I  lie  I  I  n  1 5  n  must  be  of  good  quality  and  well  seasoned  before  the  finish 

-  -  is  applied.  This  is  the  secret  of  the  elegant  finish  given  the 

exquisite  oak  chiffonier  shown  here.  It  is  made  of  the  choicest  material,  which 
takes  a  beautiful  finish  in  a  rich  golden  shade  with  a  brilliant  lustre. 

The  I|!«hav  is  oval  in  shape  and  of  sufficient  size  for  practical  use,  It  is 
I  lie  IftilTUr  large  and  heavy,  being  made  of  the  finest  grade  of  deeply 

- - beveled  French  plate  and  measures  20  inches  high  by  12 

inches  wide.  The  mirror  frame  is  a  model  of  perfect  workmanship  and  tends  to 
show  off  the  heavy  beveled  mirror  to  splendid  advantage.  The  artistic  design 
and  neat  carving  of  the  mirror  standards  are  in  perfect  harmony  with  the  rest  of 
the  chiffonier,  and  in  all  it  is  an  article  that  could  hardly  be  improved  upon. 


The  Trimmings 


Nothing  elaborate  in  design  is  attempted,  the  rich 
elegance  of  the  plain  handles  so  often  seen  on  the 
finest  furniture  being  strictly  adhered  to.  These 
trimmings  are  made  of  brass  and  are  neatly  fashioned  in  complete  harmony  with 
the  splendid  design  of  the  chiffonier,  Locks,  keys  handles,  casters  —  every 
trimming  on  the  chiffonier  is  strictly  high  grade,  which  fact  shows  that  nothing 
has  been  neglected  to  make  this  a  most  acceptable  article  and  one  far  beyond 
the  average  chiffonier  sold  by  other  houses  at  a  much  higher  price.

We  have  had  from  the  start  an  advantage  over  every  other  concern  selling 
furniture  We  are  located  in  the  metropolis  of  the  greatest  furniture  produc¬ 
ing  State  in  the  Union,  and  the  wonderful  business  we  have  built  up  is  the 
logical  result  of  our  natural  resources  and  superior  facilities.  And  by  giving 
our  customers  the  benefit  of  every  possible  saving  from  the  beginning  —  by 
being  content  with  a  small  margin  of  profit  on  each  article  we  sell,  we  have 
attained  such  a  commanding  position  and  have  gained  such  a  volume  of  busi¬ 
ness  that  we  now  absolutely  control  certain  outputs  of  many  of  the  largest 
and  best  known  furniture  factories.  This  is  one  of  the  reasons  why  the 
chiffoniers  shown  in  this  catalog  are  greater  values  than  those  exhibited  by 
any  other  concern  in  the  world.  Compare  our  goods,  quality  for  quality,

This  Beautiful  Quarter  Sawed  Oak  Chiffonier 

No.  5L-132.  In  all  lines  of  business  there  are  special  brands  of  goods  that  are  known 
to  lie  preeminently  superior.  The  merit  of  such  goods  has  been  proven  and  the  public 
knows  that  they  can  be  depended  upon  absolutely.  The  “Gold  Medal  Brand”  on  furni¬ 
ture  is  accepted  everywhere  by  knowing  ones  as  the  standard  of  high  quality.  It  has 
earned  this  reputation  because  the  makers  have  taken  pains  to  produce  something 
better  than  the  ordinary  and  to  maintain  the  highest  degree  of  perfection  in  the  man¬ 
ufacture  of  all  articles  of  this  brand. 


The  Wood 


One  of  the  noticeable  differences  between  Gold  Medal 
Brand  Chiffoniers  and  those  of  other  make  is  in  the  quality 
of  the  wood.  There  are  so  many  poor  grades  of  oak  used 
in  making  furniture  these  days  that  the  purchaser  runs  the  risk  of  disappoint¬ 
ment  unless  he  knows  what  he  is  getting.  The  Gold  Medal  Brand  label  protects 
you  against  cheap  material  and  insures  you  of  getting  the  best  quality  of  wood. 
This  chiffonier  is  made  of  quarter  sawed  oak  and  solid  oak  and  is  perfectly 
finished  in  a  rich  golden  shade.  It  is  far  superior  to  anything  ever  before 
offered  at  the  price  and  demonstrates  conclusively  our  ability  to  outdo  all  other 
dealers  and  mail  order  houses  in  the  sale  of  chiffoniers. 


The  Construction 


To  those  who  have  seen  and  used  Gold  Medal 
Brand  furniture  it  is  unnecessary  to  go  into 
detail  in  describing  the  extraordinary  construc¬ 
tion;  but  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  have  never  before  purchased, we  desire  to 
explain  briefly  that  every  part  is  so  accurately  fitted,  every  piece  so  perfectly 
mortised  and  joined,  and  every  detail  so  expertly  executed  that  the  finished  pro¬ 
duct  is  perceptibly  better  and  will  stand  the  test  of  time  and  use,  and  prove  its 
unusual  merit.  The  large  20x30-inch  double  top  is  swell  shape  with  swell  front 
top  drawer  to  match.

No.  1L-351.  This  beautiful  Gold  Medal  Brand  wood  bed  is  one  of  our  special  leaders  and  is  strictly 
first  class  in  every  detail.  The  panels,  bars,  side  rails,  and  posts  are  all  made,  framed  and  fitted  carefully 
and  perfectly.  In  construction  and  workmanship  this  bed  is  far  superior  to  the  average  wo  d  beds  sold 
by  most  mail  order  houses  at  prices  ranging  from  $7  to  $12.  This  bed  is  built  and  finished  in  one  of  the 
largest  arid  finest  equipped  furniture  factories  in  the  world,  and  the  style  and  finish  that  is  given  to  it  is  a 
radical  improvement,  in  point  of  quality  and  elegance,  over  the  old  kind  you  are  accustomed  to  see  in 
stores  and  in  other  catalogs.  The  pretty  grain  of  the  solid  oak  and  the  rich  finish  of  deep  golden  hue 
combine  to  bring  out  the  most  satisfying  effect. 

There  is  a  certain  limit  in  price  below  which  a  first  class  high  grade  wood 
bed  can  not  be  made  even  in  large  quantities  by  the  most  modernly  equip- 

-  -  -  ped  factory,  and  this  richly  carved,  perfectly  made  bed  at 

only  $6.75  represents  that  point.  There  are  houses  that  catalog  wood  beds  for  almost  noth¬ 
ing,  but  we  warn  you  against  buying  any  wood  bed  anywhere  for  less  than  $0.75  because  we 
know  that  such  cheap  articles  will  not  give  satisfaction.  Our  improved  methods  of  manufacture 
reduce  the  first  cost  to  the  very  lowest  possible  point.  You  pay  only  our  one  small  margin  of 
profit  above  actual  cost  and  get  the  most  and  tne  best  for  your 'money,

tory  where  the  iron  and  brass  beds  shown 
on  the  following  pages  are  made.  This 
immense  factory  has  been  operating  for 
twenty-four  success*' ve  years.  It  is  the 
largest  manufactory  of  metal  beds  in  the 
world.  Its  products  are  the  best  the  Amer¬ 
ican  market  affords.  Great  care  is  exercis¬ 
ed  in  the  operation  of  every  detail.  From 
the  moulding  of  the  raw  material  to  put¬ 
ting  on  the  beautiful  enamel,  at  every  step 
is  found  a  competent  inspector  who  passes 
on  the  work  and  rejects  anything  that  does 
not  come  up  to  the  factory’s  highest  stand¬ 
ard  of  merit. 

Famous  designers,  most  skilled  American 
artisans  and  modern  machinery  all  combine

S| jjjj  Qur  Line  of  Guaranteed  Bed  Spjings  Sfljg 


We  sell  all  our  high  grade  springs  cheaper  than  any  other  home-furnishing 
house  in  the  country  for  three  reasons:  1  —We  are  content  with  less  profit  on 
the  individual  sale.  2. — The  springs  we  sell  are  made  for  us  right  in  Detroit  in 
the  factory  which  we  control.  This  means,  firstly,  no  freight  charges  and, 
secondly,  economy  of  production  because  we  are  able  to  be  right  on  the  spot  with 
suggestions  and  advice  backed  by  our  deep  knowledge  of  the  wants  of  the  cus¬ 
tomer.  3. — We  contract  for  such  large  quantities  of  springs  during  the  year  that 
we  practically  name  our  own  factory  price.  In  turn  we  offer  them  to  you  at 
astonishingly  low  prices.  We  are  confident  our  values  cannot  be  duplicated. 


When  ordering  a  Spring  be  sure  to  state  whether  it  is  to  be  used  on  a  wood 
or  metal  bed.  Springs  for  metal  beds  are  furnished  by  us  so  constructed  as  to  do 
away  with  the  necessity  of  iron  slats.  It  is  therefore  important  to  state  whether

The  Far  Famed  Costnomore  heard  of  the  Costnomore  mat- 

-  -  -  - -  tress,  and  who  is  there  that 

will  deny  it  is  the  standard  of  quality?  People  are  becoming  more  and  more 
particular  about  the  mattresses  they  buy  as  the  years  roll  on.  And  the  more 
particular  they  are  the  more  Costnomore  mattresses  we  sell;  because  the  Costno¬ 
more  stands  the  test  and  gives  that  perfect  satisfaction,  so  much  desired.  It  is 
soft  and  resilient  the  first  time  you  sleep  on  it,  and  it  stays  that  way  for  years 
and  years,  because  it  is  made  right.  It  cannot  become  lumpy  and  uneven  from 
long  use,  for  it  is  constructed  especially  to  overcome  just  such  possible  fault.  It 
will  keep  its  shape  as  long  as  it  lasts  and  it  will  last  longer  than  any  other 
elastic  cotton  felt  mattress. 

ft  _  _  4*ii 4  ■  am  Each  layer  of  elastic  cotton  felt  is  made  of  uniform  thick- 

UOnSirilCIIOn  ness  by  the  most  scientific  process  and  with  the  latest 

- improved  machinery.  The  layers,  one  upon  another,  are 

drawn  together  under  great  pressure  and  enclosed  in  the  heavy  ticking.  The 
tufts  are  evenly  arranged  and  of  equal  tension.  The  entire  process  of  manu¬ 
facture  requires  special  machinery  and  expert  workmanship  and  the  finished 
mattress  is  the  most  perfect  ever  built.

more.  It  is  covered  with  the  most  beautiful,  heavy,  flowered  ticking  that  can 
be  manufactured.  This  mattress  is  positively  the  finest  elastic  cotton  felt  mat¬ 


tress  on  the  market.  It  would  be  utterly  impossible  to  buy  a  better  felt  mattress, 
because  no  better  felt  mattress  can  be  made;  yet  you  will  find  that  our  prices  are 
considerably  lower  than  other  recognized  makes  sell  for,  This  is  because  we 
sell  so  manj’ and  have  perfected  equipment  for  their  manufacture;  and  because 
we  add  only  our  one  small  percentage  of  profit  to  the  actual  cost.  We  are  head¬

I  lll*>  I  vll v vl  mdliress  restores  your  tired  nerves  and  dispels 

'  — — —  ■  household  or  business  cares;  that  per¬ 
fect  sleep  which  imbues  you  with  the  vic;or  of  health  and  prepares  you,  rested 

and  refreshed,  for  the  active  morrow.  Regardless  of  what  may  be  said  of  any 
other  “Elastic  Felt'' mattress  on  the  market,  we  positively  guarantee  that  this 
“Sleepwell”  mattress  stands  second  to  none  from  any  stand-point  of  durability, 
make  or  comfort. 

TLa  ‘iD||ilrim<v”  The  art  of  mattress  building  in  its  very  latest  and 
I  flv  DUII Uing  most  improved  development  is  demonstrated  in  the 

-  - ®  “Sleepwell.”  You  are  given  a  mattress  that  will 

not  lose  its  shape,  will  not  sag,  nor  lose  its  resilience.  The  above  illustration 
shows  an  end  ripped  open  so  that  you  may  see  the  numerous  layers  of  pure  cot¬ 
ton  which  in  the  complete  mattress  is  pressed  together  under  enormous  pressure. 
These  layers  of  cotton  are  built  of  numerous  smaller  layers  composed  of  the 
very  finest  grade  of  pure  long  cotton  fibres,  specially  treated  to  eliminate  any 
possible  danger  from  lurking  germs.  With  these  pure  white  layers  of  fluffy  cot¬ 
ton  the  mattress  is  built.  The  tuftng  is  uniform  and  even.  Each  tuft  is  secured 
by  our  “never-slip”  fastening  process,  which  insures  permanency.  The  ticking 
is  extra  heavy  and  of  the  finest  quality. 


Made  in  Detroit 


The  “Sleepwell”  Cotton  Felt  Mnttressis  made  right 
here  in  Detroit,  where  our  great  interests  are  con¬ 
centrated.  We  therefore  safely  guarantee  the 
superior  construction  or  building  of  this  mattress.  We  know  the  high  degree  of 
hygienic  cleanliness  that  is  maintained  in  the  factory.  Every  pound  of  cotton 
comes  under  our  close  inspection  and  every  process  to  w  hich  it  is  subjected 


comes  under  our  rigorous  supervision.  We  are  not  content  with  giving  you 
merely  a  cotton  felt  mattress;  we  aim  to  give  you  the  very  best  elastic  cotton  felt 
mattress  that  it  is  possible  to  make.

We  give  the  actual  weights  of  the  mattress  in  the  various 
sizes,  in  the  table  shown  above  and  to  the  left.  The

THE  PEOPLE’S  EASY  WAY  TO  PAY  BOOK 


WHY  WE  SELL  MORE 


The  reason  we  are  considered 
headquarters  for  lace  curtains 
and  the  reason  we  sell  more  than  any  other  home-furnishing 
concern  in  existence,  is  because  we  pay  so  much  attention  to 
quality.  You  know  well  enough,  if  you  have  ever  bought  any 
lace  curtains,  that  coarse,  poorly  woven  lace  is  unsatisfactory 
and  will  not  launder  properly;  that  it  soon  wears  full  of  holes 
and  spoils  the  appearance  of  the  whole  room.  You  know  all 
these  things  very  well;  and  that’s  why  you  will  appreciate  cur¬ 
tains  like  ours,  that  will  wear  well  and  look  well,  and  stand 
washing  time  and  time  again,  and  as  often  as  you  want  to  clean 
them.  You  will  appreciate  the  unusual  quality  of  our  curtains; 
and  you  will  notice,  first  of  all,  that  the  threads  are  finer  and 
twisted  closer  so  as  to  give  greater  strength;  and  that  the  fine 
mesh  is  perfectly  woven  so  the  lace  will  not  stretch  out  of  shape 
like  it  does  in  the  common  grades  of  curtains. 


LOW  PRICES  EXPLAINED  We  have  been  selling  lace 

UUIf  rn.f.WLg  faArLHintU  curtains  for  the  last  quarter 
of  a  century.  Year  by  year,  the  volume  of  our  business  has 
increased  and  our  ability  to  save  money  for  our  customers  be¬ 
come  more  pronounced.  We  no  longer  deal  with  wholesalers 
or  jobbers,  but  buy  direct  from  the  mills  in  such  enormous 
quantities  as  to  procure  the  goods  at  lower  prices  than  whole¬ 
salers  generally  pay.  There  are  no  middlemen’s  profits  to  pay 
when  you  buy  lace  curtains  from  us.  We  sell  to  you  at  the 
same  price  we  sell  to  dealers  and  give  you  the  benefit  of  our 
easy  way  to  pay  plan.  Every  pair  of  curtains  shown  on  this 
and  the  following  pages  is  absolutely  guaranteed  by  us  as  well 
as  by  the  makers.  Our  prices  are  by  far  the  lowest  ever  associa¬ 
ted  with  goods  of  such  high  quality  and  you  will  be  thoroughly 
pleased  with  any  bargain  you  select  from  these  pages.  We  guar¬ 
antee  prompt  shipment,  safe  delivery  and  perfect  satisfaction.

finished  edge  of  the  overlooked  corded  stitch;  launders  perfectly  and  by  reason  of  its

Lowest  Prices  and  a  Guarantee 


When  you  order  car¬ 
pets,  rugs,  linoleums, 
or  oil  cloth  from  this  catalog,  you  do  so  with  the  distinct  understand¬ 
ing  and  agreement  that  you  are  to  get  the  very  best  goods  at  the 
lowest  price,  or  there  is  no  sale.  That’s  our  policy.  We  do  not  want 
our  customers  to  think  that  they  buy  a  “cat  in  the  bag”  and  take 
chances  on  being  fooled.  We  have  been  selling  carpets  and  rugs 
for  nearly  thirty  years  and  we  know  all  about  these  goods.  We 
know  how  they  are  made  and  we  know  why  some  are  good  and 
some  are  bad,  and  this  knowledge,  gained  by  long  years  of  careful 
studying,  enables  us  to  avoid  buying  anything  that  wouldn’t  stand 
the  test  of  time.  When  we  guarantee  a  carpet  or  a  rug,  you  can  be 
sure  that  we  know  all  about  the  quality,  because  a  large  concern  like 
we  are  could  not  afford  to  put  its  guar¬ 
antee  upon  unreliable  merchandise. 


This  Profit  Goes  fo  You 


Why  We  M  ihe  Mosi  I  Read  What  _A  Few  of  Our  Customers  Say 


Even  if  our  regular  profit  was 
as  big  as  other  mail  order 
houses  we  would  still  be  saving  you  this  25  to  40%,  when  you  buy 
your  carpets  and  rugs  here.  But  as  a  matter  of  fact,  we  never  charge 
as  much  profit  as  other  concerns  because  our  long  experience  enables 
us  to  do  business  with  a  smaller  expense,  so  that  in  every  case  our 
customers  benefit  and  the  saving  that  we  make  at  both  ends  goes 
back  into  the  pockets  of  those  who  buy  from  us.  Now  you  can  see 
plainly  why  we  do  such  a  tremendous  business.  People  have  com¬ 
pared  our  carpets,  our  rugs,  our  linoleums,  our  oil  cloths,  our  mat¬ 
tings,  with  those  sold  elsewhere;  they  have  tested  and  tried  them  in 
every  manner  and  form  in  which  this  merchandise  can  be  tested 
and  tried.  And  when  all  is  said  and  done,  when  all  comparisons  have 

been  made,  none  dispute  our  suprem¬ 
acy,  none  question  our  ability  to  un¬ 
dersell  all  competitors. 


Mt.  Auburn.  Ill.,  June  3.  1908. 

Kind  Sir.— I  received  my 
carpet  and  liked  it  fine. 

Mrs.  Cecil  Arnold. 


No.  6  Madison  St. 
Adrian,  Mich.,  May  26,  1908. 

Dear  Sirs: — Enclosed  lind 
Two  Dollars  ($2.00)  for 
monthly  payment  on  Ax- 
minster  Rug,  Number  27E- 
111.  The  rug  was  safely  re¬ 
ceived  and  I  am  highly 
pleased, 

Mrs.  Wm.  L.  Heitz, 


Whenever  you  find  one  concern 
doing  the  largest  business  in  its  line, 
there  is  a  good  reason  behind  that 
concern’s  success.  It  is  very  import¬ 
ant  for  you  to  know  this  and  it  is  to 
your  advantge  to  buy  from  the  biggest 
concern,  because  you  can  be  sure  that 
people  wouldn’t  keep  on  buying  from 
them  year  after  year,  and  increasing 
their  orders  all  the  while,  unless  this 
concern  was  giving  its  patrons  more 
for  their  money,  and  better  for  their 
money,  than  can  be  gotten  elsewhere. 

Thousands  of  customers  have  written 
in  to  us  saying  they  didn’t  understand 
how  we  could  sell  such  high  grade 
carpets  and  rugs  at  such  wonderfully 
low  prices,  and  our  answer  is  that 
we  couldn’t  if  we  didn’t  sell  so  much. 

Now  we  will  just  explain  the  proposi¬ 
tion  to  you,  dear  reader,  and  let  you  judge  for  youself,  as  a  fair 
minded  person,  whether  or  not  it  will  pay  you  to  buy  here.  It’s  this 
wTay.  Carpet  and  rug  manufacturers  have  only  two  seasons,  Spring  and 
Fall,  and  the  rest  of  the  year  they  haven’t  enough  business  to  keep 
their  plants  running.  Now  we  go  to  these  manufacturers  and  contract 
with  them  to  take  all  the  goods  they  can  make  in  the  dull  season,  pro¬ 
viding  they  do  not  charge  us  a  profit  over  their  expense  of  doing  busi¬ 
ness.  In  this  way  the  manufacturer  is  enabled  to  keep  his  help,  keep 
his  machines  running,  pay  his  rent  and  break  even,  though  he  sells  us 
the  goods  at  just  what  it  costs  him  to  make;  and  on  the  other  hand  we 
buy  our  carpets  aud  rugs  at  prices  that  are  always  25%,  and  often 
40%,  lower  than  any  other  dealer  or  mail  order  concern  in  the  world 
pays.  In  other  words,  we  save  the  manufacturer’s  average  profit. 


Galeton,  Pa.,  May  27, 1908. 

Please  find  enclosed  Post 
Office  money  order  for  $3.75 
pay  merit  on  rugs  and  curtains. 
They  were  very  satisfactory, 
I  am  very  well  pleased  with 
everything.  I  will  try  to  be 
more  prompt  the  next  time 
in  sending  payment, 

Kate  Gribben. 


Antioch,  Tenn.,  May  27, 1908 
Dear  Sirs— 1  received  the 
Rugs  and  am  more  than 
pleased  with  them. 

Mrs.  W.  T.  Shelton. 


R.  F.  D.  No.  I,  Box  26,  South 
Zanesville,  O.,  July  11.  1908. 

Dear  Sir:  —  I  received  your 
carpet  and  it  is  alt  right.  We 
were  well  pleased  with  it  and 
you  will  find  enclosed  a  pay- 
’*ment  on  the  carpet,. 

G.  W.  Thomas. 


So.  Byron.  N.Y.,  July  17,1909. 

Dear  Sir:  —  Received  the 
carpet  and  was  pleased  with 
it  and  it  fitted  like  the  paper 
on  the  wall  and  was  glad  that 
you  was  so  kind.  Justassoon 
as  this  is  paid  for  I  will  send 
you  another  order,  but  do  not 
want  to  have  too  much  to  pay 
for  all  at  once. 

Mrs.  Albert  J.  Sherman 


You  Get  Variety 

When  a  concern  sells  many  hundreds 
of  thousands  of  dollars  worth  of  floor 
coverings,  as  we  do,  naturally  it  re¬ 
quires  an  unlimited  stock.  You  would 
simply  be  amazed  if  you  could  see 
this  department  in  our  building,  with 
its  thousands  and  thousands  of  rolls 
of  carpets,  and  rug  tiers  extending 
down  one  entire  side  of  our  building 
and  piled  mountain  high. 

The  varieties  are  simply  unlimited, 
and  the  enormous  surplus  stock  means 
you  will  always  get  prompt  service 
and  prompt  shipment.  Every  assort¬ 
ment  is  complete,  containing  all  shades 
and  colors  that  are  to  be  the  fashion 
during  the  season  when  they  are 
shown.  In  the  twenty  pages  follow¬ 
ing  you  are  shown  samples  of  this  enormous  variety  and  we  say  to 
you  here  that  these  are  the  very  latest  creations,  the  very  latest 
designs,  the  very  newest  fashions  for  the  coming  season. 

Our  well  earned  reputation  for  carrying  the  most  stylish  goods 
made — the  most  up-to-date  patterns  in  the  most  gorgeous  colorings — 
is  thoroughly  substantiated  by  the  following  twenty  solid  pages  of 
beautiful  color  illustrations.  You  will  find  unmatchable  bargains 
on  these  pages — carpets,  rugs,  portieres,  couch  covers,  etc.,  of  sur¬ 
passing  beauty.  We  receive  letters  every  day  from  customers  who 
declare  that  our  carpets  and  rugs  wear  better  than  any  others  they 
have  ever  used  and  that  our  patterns  are  always  in  the  lead.  The 
reasons  why  this  is  true  have  been  explained  on  this  page,  It’s  easy 
to  pay  the  People’s  way.  We  trust  you  Privately.

let  us  lay  one  on  your  floor  on  approval  and  free  trial. 
We  are  not  afraid  to  accept  your  order  with  the  under¬ 
standing  that  the  carpet  must  please  you,  or  you  have 
the  privilege  of  returning  it  to  us  and  getting  back 
your  money.  This  is  a  regular  81.25  per  yard  carpet, 
reduced  to  89c,  so  we  know  it  is  bound  to  please.

floor  of  your  parlor,  you  will  never  want  to  part 
with  it. 

In  ordering,  be  sure  to  state  size  of  room,  also 
whether  you  w'ant  it  made  up  into  a  rug  with  a 
border  to  match.  See  table  on  page  187  of  this

This  is  a  dark  pattern  and  is  especially  suited  for

We  undersell  everyone  in  carpets.  No  other  house

none  sell  so  much.  That  is  the  great  reason  why  our 
prices  are  the  lowest.  In  ordering,  be  sure  to  men¬ 
tion  whether  or  not  you  wish  us  to  sew  the  carpet.

Linoleum,  Oil  Cloth,  Couch  Covers,  Portieres 


Our  leadership 

The  People’s  Outfitting  Co.  of  Detroit,  Mich.,  is  known 
1  all  over  the  United  States  as  headquarters  for  Carpets  and 
Rugs.  We  sell  more  of  these  goods  than  any  other  mail¬ 
order  concern  on  earth.  We  are  exclusive  agents  in 
America  for  the  famous  “Tiger”  and  “Sultan”  Rugs  (and 
represent  the  Mills  direct  throughout  our  entire  magnificent 
line). 

Honest  Representation 

We  give  greater  value  to  each  square  inch  of  carpet 
than  any  other  concern  in  existence.  Our  grades  are 
just  exactly  as  represented— they  are  genuine  and  you 
can  depend  absolutely  on  the  pictures  shown  and  the 
descriptions  given  in  this  book. 

Highest  Quality 

A  carpet  or  rug  may  look  well  when  it  is  brand  new  and 
yet  its  fine  appearance  will  be  only  temporary  if  the 
quality  is  not  there.  We  have  guarded  against  the  use 
of  inferior  dyes  and  yams  by  our  exacting  requirements 
of  the  great  Mills.  We  have  required  them  to  install 
special  machinery  in  order  to  produce  a  superior  weave 
that  will  withstand  the  hardest  wear.  By  this  splendid 
process  and  the  use  of  the  choicest  yams,  the  fabrics  from 
these  looms  are  the  finest  in  the  world,  possessing  that 
wear -resisting  quality  not  found  in  any  but  our  own. 

Honest  Prices 

To  all  we  sell  at  factory  prices — no  middlemen  of  any 
kind  get  profit  on  our  goods.  We  defy  any  concern  in  the 
world  to  equal  the  low  prices  on  the  same  quality  of  goods 
as  are  shown  in  this  department.  Don’t  be  fooled  by 
catch  prices  on  shoddy  goods.  It  doesn’t  pay  to  buy  floor 
coverings  that  will  not  stand  the  test  of  time.  Our  carpets 
and  mgs  have  real  quality — they  have  lasting  quality  as 
well  as  rare  beauty. 

Rich  New  Patterns 


The  beautiful  patterns  shown  in  this  book  cannot  be 
surpassed.  Many  of  our  styles  are  exclusive  because  our 
contracts  often  include  the  entire  product  of  certain 
looms.  We  combine  our  orders  for  our  great  city  stores 
and  our  immense  mail-order  institution  and  get  the  very 
choicest  patterns  and  the  richest  and  most  beautifully 
blended  colorings  that  can  be  produced. 


The  Color  Illustrations 

give  our  customers  an  exact  idea  of  the  handsome  designs 
and  rich  colorings  of  the  carpets,  mgs,  draperies,  etc., 
we  handle.  The  pictures  are  so  perfect  in  every  detail 
that  you  can  see  just  how  the  carpets,  mgs,  linoleum, 
curtains,  etc.,  actually  look. 

The  goods  themselves  look  even  better  than  the  pictures, 
so  that  you  are  sure  to  be  more  than  pleased  with  your  bar¬ 
gain.  In  ordering  always  state  catalogue  number. 

Waste  Prevented 

The  reason  we  can  cut  carpet  with  so  little  waste  is 
that  we  have  several  rolls  in  stock  all  the  same,  of  the 
various  patterns  and  grades,  and  by  cutting  several  rooms 
of  the  same  pattern  together,  we  do  away  with  much 
waste,  thus  making  a  saving  for  our  customers. 

We  allow  6  inches  on  each  width  of  carpet,  where  it 
has  to  be  cut  and  matched  to  fit  a  room.  That  amount 
provides  for  3  inches  to  be  turned  under  on  each  end  which 
makes  the  carpet  lie  better  and  gives  the  tacks  a  better 
hold  when  the  carpet  is  laid. 

All  ingrain  carpets  will  shrink  a  little  when  cut  from  the 
roll,  so  the  amount  we  allow  is  right.  No  carpet  can  be 
cut  just  exact  on  the  thread  and  laid  right.  If  that  is 
done,  the  carpet  will  be  too  small  for  the  room  and  has 
to  be  stretched  so  that  it  is  liable  to  pull  apart  and  wear 
out  more  quickly. 

It’s  a  good  idea  to  send  a  diagram  of  your  room,  showing 
all  the  projections  and  giving  all  the  dimensions.  Send 
enough  money  to  cover  first  cash  payment.  When  we  have 
figured  out  your  diagram  and  amount  of  carpet  actually 
used  we  will  give  the  exact  cost.  As  a  rule  there  is  bound 
to  be  some  waste. 

Free  Sewing 

For  sewing  and  matching  plain  carpets  without  a 
border  we  make  no  charges.  For  making  carpets  with 
border  our  charge  is  5  cents  per  yard.  We  guarantee  to 
sew  and  match  your  carpet  absolutely  perfect. 

Carpet  Samples  Free 

We  will  gladly  send  samples  of  any  grade  of  carpet  you 
may  wish  to  purchase. 

All  we  ask  you  to  send  us  is  the  catalogue  numbers  of 
the  carpet  for  which  you  desire  samples. 

It  is  not  necessary,  however,  that  you  send  for  samples 
because  each  pattern  is  shown,  on  pages  160  to  175  of  this 
catalogue,  in  its  genuine  colors,  so  that  the  pictures  rep¬ 
resent  exactly  how  the  carpets  look.  For  quality  read 
the  description  of  each  grade  on  pages  178  to  180. 

We  do  not  furnish  samples  of  Rugs,  Linoleum,  Oil- 
Cloth  or  Matting.

great  value. 

Note.  All  floor  oil  cloths  are  priced  by  lineal  or  running  yard,  and  those  fur¬ 
nished  by  us  come  in  two  widths — 1  and  2  yards.  Naturally  a  strip  of  oil  cloth

Linoleums  shipped  in  cold  weather  must  be  thoroughly  warmed  before  unrolling 
to  prevent  their  cracking.  When  shipped  in  very  warm  weather  care  should  be 
taken  not  to  place  articles  of  furniture  with  sharp  legs,  etc.,  on  it  until  it  has  become 
seasoned  and  fitted  to  the  floor.  It  should  not  be  tacked  down  when  first  laid  as 
it  will  expand  some.  Each  and  every  piece  of  Linoleum  is  thoroughly  inspected 
before  it  is  crated  and  we  will  not  be  responsible  for  cracking  or  other  damage 
after  it  has  been  shipped  in  good  condition.

Linoleums  are  largely  taking  the  place  as  floor  coverings  in  kitchens,  bath 
rooms  and  even  dining  rooms.  They  are  extremely  durable  and  far  pleasanter  to 
walk  on  than  oil  cloth,  and  their  colors  are  more  lasting.  All  our  linoleums  are 
fully  guaranteed  or  money  refunded.

good  quality  and  will  give  entire  satisfaction.  The  2-yard  width  we  find  to  be  the 
only  satisfactory  size  for  linoleums,  therefore,  we  furnish  it  in  this  size  only.  See

Inlaid  Linoleum,  only  $2.68  per  yard 

A  better  wearing  floor  covering  cannot  be  selected.  It  will  never  look  shabby 
or  unsightly  as  the  colors  go  through  clear  to  the  back,  so  that  it  will  always  retain 
its  clean,  fresh  appearance  until  it  is  all  worn  out.  How  convenient  and  delightful 
is  inlaid  linoleum  especially  in  kitchen  and  bath  rooms,  only  those  who  have  once 
used  it  can  testify.  Although  the  original  cost  is  greater  than  that  of  oil  cloth, 
its  wearing  quality  is  so  far  advanced  that  you  effect  a  saving  in  the  end.  The 
weight  is  about  8  pounds  per  square  yard,  and  is  furnished  in  the  2-yard  width  only, 
as  this  is  practically  the  only  satisfactory  size.  For  an  exact  reproduction  of  our

HOW  MANY  YARDS  OF  CARPET  DO  I  NEED? 

Below  we  print  a  table  showing  the  number  of  yards  of  carpet  required  for 
different  size  rooms  for  plain  and  border  carpets.  In  addition  we  have  gone  fully 
into  details  so  that  the  purchaser  may  figure  out  the  amount  needed  for  himself. 
If  you  are  in  doubt,  be  sure  to  send  us  a  drawing  of  your  room  with  the  exact  di¬ 
mensions  and  we  will  give  you  the  exact  number  of  yards  of  carpet  needed. 

LAY  YOUR  CARPETS  CAREFULLY 

After  the  carpet  has  been  cut  from  the  tightly  wound  rolls  it  will  naturally 
shrink  a  little  so  that  unless  you  lay  your  carpet  properly  you  will  have  an  apparent 
shortage.  In  laying  carpet,  first  tack  one  end  down  securely,  then  tack  down 
the  sides  alternating  every  few  yards,  stretching  the  carpet  to  the  limit  as  you  go 
along.  This  is  highly  important  if  you  want  your  carpet  to  cover  your  room. 
Not  only  this.  Carpet  that  has  been  properly  layed,  as  per  above  instructions 
will  give  far  better  service  and  will  of  course  last  longer. 

WHY  THERE  IS  WASTE 

As  many  people  do  not  understand  why  there  should  be  any  waste  in  matching 
a  carpet,  we  will  give  you  the  reasons.  Some  of  the  patterns  of  different  styles 
of  carpets  do  not  match  at  exactly  the  same  distances.  Patterns  vary  from  3  to  36 
inches  apart.  For  example,  take  a  room  size  12  feet  wide  by  13  feet  long  and  you 
will  readily  see  that  it  requires  four  widths  of  36-inch  carpet,  each  width  being  13 
feet  long.  This  would  be  the  actual  amount  of  carpet  used  to  cover  the  room. 
However,  in  cutting  this  carpet  we  find  that  the  pattern  will  not  match  at  13  feet 
exactly,  but  that  this  pattern  cuts  at  13  feet  6  inches,  and  you  will  see  the 
strip  will  have  to  be  cut  13  feet  6  inches  long  to  make  the  patterns  match  on  every 
strip.  On  four  widths  of  carpet  we  would  be  obliged  to  use  24  inches  more  carpet 
than  is  actually  needed  to  cover  the  room,  and  you  would  be  charged  with  two- 
thirds  of  a  yard  waste  used  in  matching.  This  also  applies  to  rooms  of  different 
sizes  and  to  Brussels,  Wilton  velvet  and  Axminster  crapet  as  well  as  the  ingrain 
carpet. 

When  ordering  plain  carpets,  remember  that  Brussels,  Axminster  and  Velvet 
Carpets  are  27  inches  wide,  and  all  makes  of  Ingrains  are  36  inches  wide.  First 
find  out  how  many  widths  are  required  to  cover  the  room.  Then  multiply  by  the 


length,  adding  to  the  result  about  1  to  2  yards  on  an  ordinary  room  to  allow  foi 
waste  in  matching.  When  ordering,  state  whether  seams  are  to  run  the  long  or 
short  way  of  the  room.  (Unless  ordered  to  the  contrary,  we  always  run  the  seams 
the  long  way.)  , 

When  ordering  carpets  to  be  made  with  a  border,  remember  that  the  border 
is  only  225*  inches  wide,  while  the  carpet  for  the  center  is  27  inches  wide,  also  that 
you  must  consider  that  the  border  has  to  go  continuously  around  the  room.  Foi

border  will  be  required  (net.)  To  find  out  how  much  of  the  carpet  will  be  required 
for  center  of  this  size  rug,  deduct  3  feet  9  inches  from  the  width  and  length,  which 
will  leave  6  feet  9  inches  square  to  be  covered  with  carpet,  or  three  breadths  2% 
yards  long,  equaling  6%  yards.  Thus  a  bordered  carpet,  10  feet  6  inches  square 
will  require  6%  yards  of  carpet  and  14  yards  of  border.  To  this  should  be  added 
1  %  yards  to  allow  for  waste  in  matching  the  figure.  Any  square  room  can  be 
figured  out  in  this  manner.  If  the  room  is  odd  shaped  having  a  bay  window,  fire 
place  or  offset,  send  a  sketch  giving  all  measurements. 


Our  complete  Carpet  Table  showing  the  actual  number  of  yards  required 
for  different  size  rooms  for  plain  and  border  carpets.  It  includes  waste. 


This  List  comprises  all  the  different  makes  of  Carpets, 

such  as  Ingrain  (36  inches  wide),  Tapestry  Brussels,  Velvet  and  Axminster  (27 
mches  wide),  plain  or  with  the  border.  We  wish  to  draw  your  attention  to  one  fact 
in  ordering  carpets.  When  youx  room  is  13x15  feet,  and  you  wish  an  Ingrain 
carpet  36  inches  wide,  you  will  notice  that  we  have  to  use  four  widths  15  feet 
long;  that  will  leave  one  foot  of  your  room  uncovered.  Now  in  order  not  to  waste 
two  feet  of  carpet  the  entire  length  of  your  room,  we  simply  split  one  width  in  two, 
using  only  one-half  width,  as  our  table  for  carpets  shows  you  below.  Again,  we 
take  this  same  room,  13x15  feet.  In  case  the  widths  of  this  carpet  could  be  run 
any  direction  in  the  room,  by  using  five  widths  and  running  the  lengths  13  feet  long, 


you  would  not  only  save  carpet,  but  the  widths  would  fit  in  exactly,  as  five  widths 
of  36-inch  carpet  make  exactly  15  feet.  Should  your  room  be  irregular  in  shape, 
draw  a  diagram  of  the  room,  giving  all  the  dimensions  that  you  can  possibly  think 
of  and  send  it  in  with  your  order.  We  will  then  send  you  exactly  the  required 
number  of  yards  of  carpet  to  fit  your  room,  and  charge  it  to  your  account.  If 
you  have  no  account  with  us,  you  will  find  that  in  following  the  diagram  or  table 
given  below,  you  can  figure  out  the  approximate  number  of  yards  of  carpet  you 
may  need  in  order  to  get  an  idea  of  the  amount  of  the  first  payment  that  is  re¬ 
quired,  and  when  you  receive  the  carpet,  cut  to  fit  your  room,  you  may  check  us 
up  to  see  whether  we  have  charged  you  correctly.

PEOPLE’S  OUTFITTING  CO.,  DETROIT.  MICH. 


Send  for  Our  Catalog  of 

Organs,  Pianos,  Talking  Machines  and  Records 


We  are  proud  to  offer  here,  the  celebrated  Weimer 
Piano,  the  famous  Mozart  Organ,  and  the  great  Victor 
Talking  Machine. 

These  days,  when  so  many  cheap,  worthless  instru¬ 
ments  are  being  offered  at  ridiculous  prices,  and  when  so 
many  catch  schemes  and  questionable  offers  are  being 
made,  it  does  one  good  to  feel  and  know  that  there  is  at 
least  one  place  to  turn  for  a  good  honest  square  deal; 
where  a  really  fine  organ,  piano,  or  phonograph  can  be 
bought  on  a  generous,  liberal,  fair,  honest,  easy-way-to-pay- 
plan  at  the  lowest  price  for  which  anything  worth  while 
can  be  bought. 

On  the  following  pages,  we  show  our  leaders  in  high 
grade  instruments  and  you  will  do  well  to  select  from  these 
pages.  We  publish  a  separate  musical  instrument  catalogue 
containing  our  complete  line  and  if  you  require  a  bigger 
variety  to  select  from,  send  for  it  at  once.  We  will  mail 
it  to  any  address  FREE  upon  request. 

Our  Great  New  Offers 

We  have  reduced  the  price  of  the  famous  Weimer 
Piano  from  $185.00  to  $170.00.  This  makes  the  Weimer 
the  grandest  piano  value  in  existence.  You  will  wonder 
how  we  have  been  able  to  make  such  an  enormous  reduction 
in  the  price  of  the  world’s  best  home  piano. 

Here  Is  the  Reason  Why 

We  have  stopped  sending  pianos  on  free  trial.  Such 
a  scheme  may  be  necessary  for  concerns  selling  unknown 
makes  and  pianos  that  have  no  reputation  and  which  are 
unreliable.  Of  course  the  plan  is  to  get  the  piano  in  your 
home.  After  you  have  paid  the  freight  charges  and  gone 
to  all  the  expense  of  hauling  the  piano  the  chances  are  that 
you  can  be  forced  into  keeping  the  instrument  rather  than 
go  to  all  the  trouble  of  packing  it  again  and  hauling  it  back 
to  the  railroad  station,  and  re-shipping  it. 

Our  new  plan  does  away  with  all  this  nonsense.  It 
also  eliminates  the  expense  in  connection  with  shipping 
pianos  to  unreliable  people  and  to  many  other  people  who 
simply  take  advantage  of  the  free  offer  and  have  the  piano 
sent  to  them  with  no  intention  of  keeping  it.  Now,  you 
know  just  as  well  as  we  do,  that  any  dealer  or  mail  order 
house  must  figure  in  the  expense  in  connection  with  such 
risky  business.  They  must  figure  in  what  it  costs  them 
for  freight  on  pianos  that  are  returned  and  the  damages 
done  to  the  instrument  in  transit,  and  there  are  hundreds 
of  other  items  which  they  have  to  figure  in  the  cost. 

There  was  a  time  when  we  thought  it  necessary  to  do 


these  things,  too,  but  we  have  come  to  realize  that  with  a 
piano  of  such  world-wide  reputation  as  the  Weimer  we 
can  sell  all  the  factory  can  make,  to  reliable  people  who  are 
willing  to  pay  for  their  piano,  if  it  is  satisfactory,  and  who 
can  afford  to  send  us  the  small  first  payment  which  is  all 
that  we  ask  as  an  assurance  of  your  good  faith. 

When  you  consider  that  we  only  require  a  payment  of 
$5.00  you  will  know  that  our  plan  is  just  as  liberal  as  ever, 
but  you  will  also  understand  that  we  do  not  intend  to 
send  out  promiscuously,  to  all  sorts  of  unreliable  people 
on  free  trial,  a  high  grade  standard  instrument  and  run 
the  risk  of  some  people  not  even  having  money  enough  to 
pay  the  freight  on  it. 

It  is  true  our  credit  system  is  intended  for  the  work¬ 
ingman;  but  we  are  too  friendly  with  the  working  people 
to  want  them  to  go  into  debt  for  something  they  can’t 
afford  to  pay  for,  and  if  a  person  cannot  send  the  $5.00 
first  payment  in  advance  they  certainly  could  not  pay  the 
monthly  installments  and  we  do  not  wish  to  get  people  into 
debt  and  to  make  trouble  for  them  afterwards. 

Endless  thousands  of  people  who  own  Weimer  pianos 
will  tell  you  that  they  have  no  equal  and  now  that  the 
price  has  been  reduced  to  $170.00  you  should  not  even  con¬ 
sider  any  other  make.  The  Weimer  is  the  piano  for  you, 
for  your  home,  for  your  children.  It  will  last  a  lifetime. 
It  is  the  equal  of  any  $300.00  piano  on  the  market  and  must 
not  be  compared  to  the  ordinary  cheap  mail  order  piano  that 
is  sent  broadcast  around  the  country  withopt  any  money 
down,  and  on  which  the  margin  of  profit  is  so  great  that  the 
sale  of  one  piano  pays  for  the  loss  of  two  other  instruments. 

So  our  advice  to  you  is  to  buy  a  first  class  piano 
now  and  you  will  have  no  regret  in  time  to  come. 

Our  Fair,  Honest,  Easy  Terms 

According  to  our  new  plan  you  really  get  the  easiest 
credit  terms  in  the  world.  You  take  no  risk  and  we  take 
none,  because  you  are  honest  and  we  are  honest,  and  we 
pledge  ourselves  to  satisfy  you  in  every  respect  or  return 
any  money  you  have  sent  us,  and  pay  all  the  freight.  So 
you  must  be  absolutely  satisfied  and  pleased  with  your  in¬ 
strument  or  it  doesn’t  cost  you  one  penny  tcu  send  us 
only  $5.00  cash  and  we  ship  the  piano  to  your .  station . 
After  you  have  used  it  for  30  days  on  approval,  and  have

Something  About  tjie  Construction 

Of  Our  Famous  Instruments 


The  Weimer  Piano 


The  Construction 


of  the  Weimer  Piano  is  based  upon 

_  _  years  of  experimenting  and  study  in  the 

endeavor  to  evolve  an  absolutely  perfect  instrument,  and  the  fact 
that  the  greatest  pianists  in  the  world,  concert  players  and  pro¬ 
fessional  teachers  in  every  country  highly  recommend  the  Weimer, 
is  proof  enough  of  the  high  degree  of  perfection  which  the  makers 
of  this  piano  have  attained. 

Only  the  highest  grade  of  tested  material  is  used  in  the  making 
of  the  Weimer.  Every  detail  is  carefully  examined — every  step 
of  construction  is  tested  before  the  next  step  is  permitted.  It  is 
simply  impossible  for  a  flaw  to  creep  in  the  making  of  this  instru¬ 
ment.  Every  string  is  carefully  selected  and  tried.  Every  metal 
part  passes  a  most  thorough  examination.  Every  bit  of  lumber 
is  chosen  by  experts  who  understand  best  what  is  necessary  for 
the  making  of  a  perfect  piano. 

Tana  in  a  piano  means  life,  soul,  sweetness.  In  the  Weimer  the 
JjlILlL  tone  is  full,  round,  reasonant  and  pure.  It  is  of  a  quality 
that  improves  with  use  and  will  sound  as  rich  and  beautiful  at  the 
end  of  ten  or  fifteen  years  as  it  does  when  new.  The  character  of 
the  tone  is  remarkable  for  its  mellowness  and  smoothness  and  its 
extraordinary  carrying  power.  It  is  clear  as  a  bell  and  rich  and 
sympathetic.  Tn  tone  quality  the  highest  point  of  excellence  has 
been  successfully  reached. 

The  Action  cf  the  Weimer 

is  such  as  to  make  the  keys  responsive  to  the  lightest  touch,  so 
that  the  hard  thumping  of  the  keys  which  is  so  wearing  on  a 
piano  is  not  necessary  on  this  splendid  instrument.  Even 
when  the  loudest  tones  are  desired,  pounding  is  unnecessary, 
because  of  the  extreme  sensitiveness  and  responsiveness  of  the 
Weimer  action. 

TLa  CaaIa  on  the  Weimer  is  perfectly  drawn,  giving  that 
'  ***  evenness  of  tone  which  appeals  so  strongly  to  the 

musically  educated.

The  Mozart  Organ 

TIlP  Apfinn  an  orSanis  the  technical  term  for  the  music- 
MI®L  ^  making  parts.  It  is  the  heart  and  soul  of  the 

instrument, — the  vital  mechanism  upon  which  depends  the  value 
of  the  organ  so  lar  as  the  tone  is  concerned.  The  Actions  furnish¬ 
ed  in  Mozart  organs  are  the  best  that  can  be  produced  by  the 
largest  organ  factory  in  the  world — one  that  has  been  in  existence 
for  68  years  and  at  the  present  time  stands  foremost  in  reputation 
among  the  highly  reputable  organ  manufactories  of  America. 
Nothing  but  the  best  materials  are  used  in  the  making  of  these 
Actions,  and  they  are  constructed  by  experienced  organ  builders 
who  have  spent  the  best  years  of  their  lives  in  the  study  of  their 
art.  The  choicest  felts,  leathers,  etc.,  only  are  used  for  valves  and 
mutes.  The  bellows  are  of  the  finest  selected  seasoned  stock  and 
superior  India  rubber  sheeting.  The  construction  is  perfect  and 
most  durable  in  every  case.  The  touch  is  quick  and  responsive 
and  every  Action  carefully  regulated,  perfectly  fitted  and  adjusted 
throughout. 

The  Lumber  ^rom  which  the  MOZART  ACTIONS  are  made, 
—  ■  MIHIIICI  thoroughly  inspected  and  selected  by  men  who 

have  had  the  widest  experience  in  this  line  of  work  and  who  make 
a  business  of  purchasing  this  material  for  MOZART  organs. 
The  great  modern  labor  saving,  improved  machinery  and  equip¬ 
ment  used  in  the  great  MOZART  institution,  the  best  materials 
that  experience  can  select  and  that  money  can  buy— -these  are 
used  by  the  most  expert  and  finest  skilled  mechanics  and  organ 
builders  in  the  world  in  making  the  celebrated  MOZART  AC¬ 
TIONS.  These  Actions  produce  that  full,  round,  sonorous  and 
powerful,  pure,  clear  tone  which  is  peculiar  to  Mozart  quality  and 
for  which  Mozart  organs  have  attained  an  international  reputation. 

Wonderful  Musical  Capacity 

that  cannot  be  rendered  most  effectively  upon  MOZART 
organs.  The  Actions  are  so  perfectly  made  that  the  player  with¬ 
out  undue  exertion  has  perfect  control  over  the  instrument  and  is 
able  to  produce  musical  effects  only  excelled  by  the  finest  pipe  organs. 

The  Victor  Talking  Machine 

is  the  only  phonograph  in  the  world  having  the  famous  patented 
tapering  arm  and  perfect  sound  box,  which  are  the  latest  scientific 
devices  for  reproducing  sound.  Tbe  Victor  has  many  other  im¬ 
provements  which  increase  the  volume  of  sound  and  preserve  the 
purity  and  sweetness  of  the  music.  These  patented  features  are 
found  only  on  Victor  Talking  Machines — beware  of  imitations. 

That  these  wonderful,  improved  and  perfect  instruments 
please  the  public  best  is  proven  by  the  fact  that  over  $20,000,000 
worth  of  Victors  were  sold  last  year. 

Once  you  get  one  of  these  wonderful  Victors  in  your  home 
and  listen  to  the  soul  stirring  waltzes,  the  minstrel  dialogue,  the 
concert  pieces,  beautiful  band  and  orchestra  selections,  old  fashioned 
hymns,  religious  music,  etc.,  you  will  wonder  how  you  ever  existed 
without  it. 

Lack  of  space  prevents  our  listing  records  in  this  catalog. 
There  are  thousands  upon  thousands  of  different  selections  to  be 
had  and  to  show  them  all  would  require  a  good  sized  book  in  itself. 
Our  special  musical  catalog  gives  an  unlimited  variety  of  all  sizes 
of  records.  Special  booklets  containing  list  of  the  latest  records 
are  published  every  month.  Records  can  be  bought  anywhere  at 
a  uniformly  low  price.  The  new  Victor  double  faced  records  have 
music  on  both  sides. 

With  the  late  improvements  of  the  Victor  Machine  all  harsh¬ 
ness  is  done  away  with  and  the  tones  ring  out  as  clear  as  a  bell  and 
as  sweet  and  pure  as  the  original  music.  Victor  Records  are 
mads  in  three  different  sizes — eight-inch,  ten-inch  and  twelve- 
inch,  and  any  or  all  sizes  can  be  played  on  all  Victor  Machines

STYLE-E  MOZART  ORGAN 

YOU  PAY  US  ONLY  $5.00  CASH  for  this  organ  and  the  balance  in  easy  payments  of  $4.00 
each  month  while  you  are  enjoying  the  use  of  the  instrument  in  your  home. 


TWO  IMPORTANT  REASONS  why  you  should  buy  your  organ  trom  the 
People’s  Outfitting  Co.,  Detroit,  Mich. 


First,  because  Our  Generous  Terms  of  Credit  fully  protect  you,  as  you 
only  need  to  pay  the  small  cash  deposit  as  a  first  payment  and  the  organ  is 
promptly  shipped  to  you.  You  take  it  to  your  home  and  use  it.  Then  if  you 
find  it  unsatisfactory  in  any  way  you  return  it  to  us  and  we  send  right  back 
to  you  every  cent  you  have  paid  us  and  also  pay  the  freight  charges.  If  you 
keep  the  organ  (and  we  have  never  yet  had  one  returned  to  us)  you  can  pay 
the  balance  of  the  cost  price  in  easy  monthly  payments  while  you  are 
enjoying  the  use  of  the  organ  in  your  home. 


Secondly,  MOZART  ORGANS  have  a  world  wide  reputation  for  high 
quality  and  perfect  tone.  They  are  not  in  the  same  class  with 
the  ordinary  commercial  organs  with  which  the  market  is 
flooded  and  which  are  offered  at  almost  any  price  and  dear  at 
that.  Mozart  organs  were  never  before  offered  at  such  low 
prices  and  never  before  were  you  offered  this  standard  high 
class  organ  on  generous  easy  credit  terms. 


THE  CASE.  This  case  is  made  in  walnut  which  is  selected 
for  its  great  beauty,  and  which  is  thoroughly  sun  dried,  then 
kiln  dried  before  it  is  worked  up  into  the  beautiful  case  you  see 
in  this  illustration.  Months  and  months  of  time  are 
required  between  the  time  the  lumber  is  brought 
into  the  factory  and  the  time  it  is  used  for  the 
case.  ,  ■>' 

The  design  of  this  case  is  one  of  rare  beauty 
and  one  which  embodies  every  new  and  artistic 
idea  as  advanced  by  authorities  on  fine  organ 
designing.  You  will  note  the  broad,  roomy  music 
desk;  the  large  book  receptacle  in  top;  the 
large  panel  French  bevel  plate  mirrors  (one  on 
each  side) ;  the  exquisite  carvings;  the  panel  sides 
and  the  neat,  heavy,  strong  side  handles.  There 
is  no  detail  of  construction  slighted  in  this  fine 
case  and  the  finish  is  done  in  several  coats  of 
finest  piano  varnish,  each  coat  being  allowed 
to  set,  then  smoothed  and  rubbed  before  the 
next  succeeding  coat  is  applied.  Quality  considered 
this  is  the  most  ideal  organ  for  the  home  ever  made 
and  sold  at  such  a  low  price. 


The  Organ  in  the  Home  adds  great!y  tor  the 

■  «■.  -  mmmm  —  happiness  of  the 
whole  family.  The  evenings  spent  in  music,  song  and 
merriment  can  never  be  forgotten  nor  can  the  true 
pleasure  and  the  real  benefits  derived  therefrom  be 
measured  in  mere  dollars  and  cents.  The  happy  home 
days  are  remembered  throughout  life  and  the  fondest  of 
all  recollections  of  the  grown  man  or  woman  are  those  of 
the  family  in  the  old  home  gathered  about  the  organ, 
singing  the  grand  old  hymns  which  father  and  mother 
so  much  loved,  or  listening  to  the  children  play  and  sing 
the  popular  airs.  No,  indeed,  there  is  no  more  refining 
influence  and  no  greater  aid  in  character  building 
than  music.  And  now  the  oppor¬ 
tunity  has  come  for  you  to  own  one 
of  the  very  best  Organs,  no  matter 
who  you  are,  where  you  live  or 
what  your  circumstances  may  be.

harshness  is  done  away  with 
and  the  tones  ring  out  as  clear  as  a  bell  and  as  sweet  and 
pure  as  the  original  music.  Victor  records  are  works  of  art — 
they  are  exact  reproductions  of  the  original,  made  from  the 
finest  material  by  the  most  skilled  workmen.  They  are  made 
in  three  different  sizes — eight-inch,  ten-inch  and  twelve-inch, 
and  any  or  all  sizes  can  be  played  on  all  Victor  Machines. 

We  furnish  200  needles  free  with  every  machine.  They 
will  last  you  for  a  long  time.  Extra  needles  can  be  purchased 
at  small  cost  at  any  music  store. 

The  Victor  is  the  only  phonograph  in  the  world  having 
the  famous  patented  tapering  arm  and  perfect  sound  box,  which 
are  the  latest  scientific  devices  for  reproducing  sound.  The 
Victor  has  many  other  improvements  which  increase  the 
volume  of  sound  and  preserve  the  purity  and  sweetness  of  the 
music.  These  patented  features  are  found  only  on  Victor 
Talking  Machines — beware  of  imitations. 

REMEMBER,  there’s  no  phonograph  like  the  Victor — - 
you  cannot  get  a  lower  price  than  we  offer — and  you  can 
never  get  such  liberal  easy  credit  from  any  other  concern. 
We  want  you  to  take  advantage  of  the  People’s  Easy-Way-to- 
Pay  Plan  and  have  a  beautiful  Victor  Talking  Machine  in  your 
home  for  you  and  your  family  to  enjoy.

THE  BE  A  CON  SHOWS  YOU  THE  WAY. 


CONSISTENT  with  our  established  policy  of  list¬ 
ing  only  the  highest  grade  of  goods  at  the 
lowest  possible  prices,  the  line  of  Steel  Ranges, 
Cook  Stoves,  Base  Burners  and  Oak  Heaters  shown 
in  this  catalogue  are  positively  of  the  very  latest 
models  and  the  best  to  be  obtained  for  the 
money  anywhere  in  the  world. 

When  we  go  into  the  market  for  the 
purpose  of  purchasing  the  hundreds  of  car¬ 
loads  of  stoves  to  be  sold  in  our  ten  great 
house  furnishing  stores  scattered  through 
out  the  country,  and  for  our  immense 
mail  order  house,  we  order  certain 
grades  of  stoves  from  one  manufac¬ 
turer  noted  for  his  efficiency  in  turning 
out  that  particular  grade;  then  we 
order  other  grades  from  others  and 
so  on. 

WE  BUY  THE  BEST  FBOM  EVERY  MAKER 

We  have  a  marked  advantage  over 
every  other  dealer  in  stoves  in  the 
country.  We  are  the  most  extensive 
dealers  of  stoves  and  ranges  in  the 
United  States  and  our  heaters,  stoves 
and  ranges  offered  in  this  book  rep¬ 
resent  the  best  products  of  the  largest 
plants  in  the  world.  We  pride  our¬ 
selves  that  we  do  not  manufacture 
our  own  stoves,  and  we  tell  you  why: 

The  stove  industry  is  a  peculiar  one. 

There  are  no  two  manufacturers  that 
excel  in  the  same  line.  Each  and  every 
one  of  the  greatest  manufacturers  of  the 
country  has  developed  abnormally  in 
some  particular  direction,  and  because  of 
certain  abilities  and  advantages  has  made 
extensive  discoveries  and  secured  exclu¬ 
sive  patents  on  certain  scientific  improve¬ 
ments  which  have  established  their  plant 
as  the  greatest  in  the  world  for  some  one 
particular  kind  of  stove.  How  can  the 
concern,  with  only  an  ordinary  factory, 
attempting  to  make  everything  from  a 
small  gas  stove  to  the  largest  base  burners 
and  steel  ranges,  expect  their  products 
to  compete  with  the  most  improved  and 
perfected  in  each  line? 

Our  stove  experts  are  m  constant 
touch  with  all  the  great  manufacturers — 
they  know  where  to  buy  each  different 
kind  of  stove,  and  because  of  their  in- 
tinlate  relations  with  the  manufacturers, 
growing  out  of  our  power  as  the  largest 
buyers  of  stoves  and  ranges  in  the  United 
States,  they  are  able  to  get  special  favors 
in  the  way  of  new  improvements  which 
are  reserved  exclusively  for  our  stoves  and 
not  found  on  any  others. 

This  is  the  reason  why  we  hear  nothing 
but  the  most  generous  praise  re¬ 
garding  our  stoves  from  customers 
in  every  state.

THE  STOVE  CEHTER  OF  THE  WORLD 

Detroit  Michigan  is  the  greatest  stove  market 
in  the  world.  There  are  more  stoves  manufactured 
here  than  in  any  other  city  in  the  world  and  it  is 

here  that  the  largest  stove  plants  in  existence 

are  located.  Having  our  headquarters  in  the 
center  of  the  stove  market  of  the  world 
and  being,  ourselves,  the  largest  sellers  in 

the  U.  S.  of  stoves  and  ranges  direct  to 

the  people,  we  are  looked  upon  and 
recognized  as  the  logical  leaders  in  the 
stove  trade  of  this  country.  It  is 
very  evident,  therefore,  with  these 
manifold  advantages — with  no  freight 
to  pay  from  factory  to  warehouse — 
with  everything  in  our  favor,  that 
our  prices  are  much  lower  than  those 
of  all  other  concerns,  not  to  mention 
the  great  superiority  of  our  stoves 
and  the  many  new  and  exclusive 
improvements  which  they  possess. 

QUALITY  FOR  QUALITY,  PRICE  FOR  PRICE 
OUR  STOVES  ARE  THE  BEST  MADE 

Remember,  when  you  buy  any 
certain  stove  from  us  you  are  getting 
one  that  has  been  selected  from  the 
greatest  factory  in  the  world  making 
that  particular  kind  of  stove.  You 
are  getting  the  latest  and  most  improved 
features  that  is  possible  to  incorporate  in 
such  a  stove — you  are  getting  one  that 
can  be  depended  upon  absolutely  to  give 
the  greatest  possible  satisfaction. 

We  ask  nothing  less  than  that  you 
compare  our  stoves,  and  the  prices  we 
ask  for  them  on  terms  of  credit,  with 
those  of  any  other  concern  engaged  in 
the  retailing  of  stoves  on  a  cash  basis  or 
otherwise.  Order  one  to  your  home,  and 
if  you  find  it  does  not  give  satisfaction 
in  every  particular— if  you  find  that  it 
is  not  the  greatest  value  to  be  had  for 
the  money,  we  will  cheerfully  refund  your 
first  payment  (which  we  require  merely 
as  an  evidence  of  good  faith,  and  which 
does  not  close  the  sale)  and  will  return 
to  you  all  freight  charges  you  may  have 
paid.  By  this  means  you  are  fully  pro¬ 
tected.  All  the  prestige  and  resources  of 
our  great  organization  are  behind  every 
assertion  and  statement  made  in  this 
catalogue,  and  our  double  binding  guar¬ 
antee  goes  with  every  order.  We  do  not 
permit  any  sale  to  be  considered  closed 
until  you  are  absolutely  satisfied. 

Read  our  guarantee  bond,  a  copy  of 
which  is  printed  on  another  page.  It  is 
additional  guarantee  that  the 
stoves  described  in  this  catalogue 
are  just  as  represented.

COMPLETE  WITH  HIGH  WARMING 

LOWEST  PRICE  EVER  NAMED 


This  is 

.  the  low¬ 

est  price  ever  placed  on  a  steel  range  of  this  descrip¬ 
tion,  and  we  offer  it  as  a  proof  of  our  ability  to  give 
you  a  bigger  stove  bargain  than  any  other  mail  order 
house  in  the  world.  This  sensationally  low  price  is  not 
a  mis-print  or  a  mistake  of  any  kind— it  is  actually  all 
we  ask  for  this  complete  steel  range  as  shown.  Many 
mail  order  houses  are  now  offering  steel  ranges  at  from 
$18  to  $20  that  are  not  in  any  way  the  equal  of  this 
"Marvel”  Steel  Range;  and,  although  we  do  not  recom¬ 
mend  this  range  to  ouc  csutomers  as  being  in  the  same 
class  with  our  famous  "Beacon”  line  of  steel  ranges  shown 
on  other  pages  of  this  catalog,  yet  we  do  advise  you  to 
take  this  "Marvel”  steel  range  in  preference  to  any 
$18.00  or  $20  range  offered  in  any  other  mail  order 
catalog.

IMPORTANT  INFORMATION 


ITS 
EASY 
TO  PAY 
THE 

PEOPLE’S 

WAY 


If  you  were 

.  acquainted 

with  some  manufacturer  of  steel  ranges  and  were 
to  ask  him  what  a  strictly  high  grade  large  steel 
range  could  be  made  for,  he  would  tell  you  that 
$18.95  is  the  lowest  factory  price  for  which  such  an 
article  could  be  produced,  even  where  made  in  large 
numbers  by  a  perfectly  equipped  stove  plant.  By  re¬ 
ferring  to  next  page  you  will  find  our  '  Kitchen  Queen” 
Range  listed  at  ^i8-95  which  is  by  far  a  greater  bargain 
than  the  "Marvel  Steel  Range  shown  on  this  page  at 
$11.65,  because  the  great  patented  improvements  of  our 
"Beacon”  line  save  enough  fuel  in  the  course  of  a  year 
or  so  to  more  than  make  up  for  the  difference  in  price: 
and  you  are  getting,  besides,  a  range  that  is  most  scienti- 
tifically  constructed  in  every  detail — you  are  getting  a 
larger  range  and  one  that  will  be  as  good  in  ten  or 

twenty  years  as 


The  above  picture  shows  our  Marvel  Steel 
Range  with  High  Closet,  but  without  Reservoir. 


it  is  today,  with 
proper  care. 

We  want  to 
make  it  plain 
to  you  that  our 
“Beacon”  line 
of  stoves  and 
ranges  repre¬ 
sent  the  best  values  in  the  world,  and  to  prove  to  you  that  we  can 
sell  a  range  of  the  usual  ordinary  type  at  a  much  lower  figure 
l  any  other  concern.  The  “  Marvel”  is  a  thoroughly  good 
range  iar  better  than  the  average  $20  range  and  will  give  satis- 
*“t™lnevery  -ay-  If  vou  feel  that  >’ou  cannot  afford  to  pav 
* i « .y.)  tor  our ‘‘Kitchen  Queen  ”  steel  range  we  will  be  glad  to  sell 
ms  MARVEL,  ’range,  but  we  urge  you  to  choose  a  range 
trom  our  wonderful  Beacon”  line  and  get  one  of  the  finest  stee' 
ranges  ever  manufactured  at  absolute  factory  price  on  our  Easv- 
ay- to  1  ay  Plan,  wmch  gives  you  all  the  time  you  want  to  pay 
m  sma  •  amounts  each  month  while  you  are  enjoying  the  use 
ot  the  range  in  your  home. 

WHY  WE  RECOMMEND?vr“^iitchcn°ueeP’’steelRanse- 

it  'c  cn  v.  k  4.4.  4.-  a  .  e  teH  you  auout  it  here  because 

it  is  so  much  better  t  an  this  “Marvel,  that  there  is  no  ioom 
for  a  doubt  that  it  is  the  stove  to  buy.  You  will  find  it 
economy .  in  the  end  to  get  a  first  class  high  grade  range 
like  the  Kitchen  Queen  that  will  give  permanent  satisfac  ion 

„  .  mor^  af.t®r,  11  has  been  used  for  years  than 

a  new  cheap  range.  The  _  Marvel”  steel  range  shown  on  this  page 

is  not  made  in  the  same  foundry  where  our 
.‘Beacon”  line  of  stoves  and  ranges  are 
produced,  and  in  fact  it  would  be  impos¬ 
sible  to  induce  this  big  manufacturer  of 
fine  ranges  to  lower  his  standard 
of  quality  to  the  point  where 
"Beacon”  ranges  could  be  sold 
for  as  low  a  price  as  $11.65.  We 
are  not  like  other  concerns  that 
describe  their  cheap  ranges  to  be 
"made  of  the  very  finest  mater¬ 
ials  and  by  the  most  skilled  me¬ 
chanics”  becausq  such  is  not  the 
case,  and  you  will  find  that  what¬ 
ever  we  say  about  any  of  our  goods 
is  absolutely  true  and  can  be 
thoroughly  depended  upon. 

DESCRIPTION  OF  THE“MARVEL” 

The  main  top  and  covers  are 
constructed  of  good  stove  plate 
so  that  with  ordinary  care  it  will 
last  for  years.  All  parts  are  care¬ 
fully  fitted  so  as  to  allow  for  heat 
expansion. 

The  Body  is  made  of  cold  rolled 
steel  plate  of  heavy  gauge  strongly 
and  accurately  riveted ,  so  that  all  connections  are  tightly  bound. 

The  high  warming  closet  is  of  generous  proportions 
allowing  ample  room  for  keeping  several  dishes  of  vegeta¬ 
bles,  meats,  etc.  ,  warm  at  one  time. 

The  Fire  Box  is  of  good  size,  has  an  easy-dump  grate  that 
works  perfectly  and  will  give  splendid  service  for  a  light 
grate.  Grate  is  fitted  to  burn  either  hard  or  soft  coal. 

The  Oven  is  of  the  latest  square  type  and  is  a  very  satis¬ 
factory,  quick,  even  baker  and  is  furnished  with  a  steel  wire 
oven  rack  and  convenient  clean-out  directly  under  the  oven 
door.  The  oven  door  is  of  splendid  design  as  the  picture 
shows,  being  of  a  late  rocco  pattern.  It  is  steel  lined;  is 
perfectly  hung  and  fits  snug  to  the  body  of  the  range. 

The  Reservoir  is  made  of  galvanized  iron  and  heats  by 
direct  contact  with  the  end  of  the  range.  The  galvanized 
iron  used  is  of  heavy  gauge  and  will  not  rust  or  corrode. 
Reservoir  is  packed  inside  oven  for  shipment,  but  it  is  easily 
attached  to  right  or  left  end  of  range.  This  reservoir,  of 
course,  will  not  last  as  long  as  the  heavy  reservoir  that  is 
built  on  our  famous  Kitchen  Queen”  steel  range  which  we 
quote  on  the  next  page  of  this  catalog. 

REMEMBER  N°  matterwhat  stove  or  range  you  order 


from  this  book  you  will  get  exactly  what 

you  pay  for  in  full  value  received;  and  since  a  steel  range  is  an  article  that  receives  much  use  and  is  bought  to  last  for  years  and  years,  we  earnestly  recommend 
— -  of  our  “ Beacon”  line  of  ranges  in  preference  to  this  our  “Marvel”  steel  range.  Be  sure  to  order  a  range  large  enough  for  your  needs,  bee  table  below.

perfect  baking  possible  as  well  as  adding  wonderfully  to 
the  life  of  the  stove.

In  spite  of  the  fact  that  the  new  features 
add  greatly  to  the  value  of  this  remarkable

ture  and  the  increased  output  of  the  big

Be  sure  to  mention  on  your  order  the  Catalog  Number  and  Price  of  the  one  you  want. 


Improved  Construction 

There  is  no  part  in  the  construction  of 
the“Solace”cast  rangethat  isnot  of  the 
latest  improved  type.  The  fire  box  is 
oval  in  shape,  with  no  square  comers 
in  which  the  fire  would  go  out.  The 
linings  are  made  very  heavy  of  corru¬ 
gated  iron,  with  air  space  between  fire 
back  and  oven  to  insure  greater  lasting 
qualities  and  better  combustion.  The 
grate  is  of  extra  heavy  construction 
and  of  the  latest  approved  pattern, 
simple  and  very  easy  to  operate.  One 
movement  of  the  shaker  cuts  out  all 
cinders  and  dead  ashes.  This  duplex 
grate  is  for  burning  coal  or  wood.  The 
range  has  large  pouch  feed,  extending 
full  length  as  shown.  The  large  oven 
door  is  hung  on  hinges  and  fits  air  tight 
against  body  of  range.  The  dampers 
and  check  drafts  control  the  fire  per¬ 
fectly,  so  that  a  hot,  medium  or  low 
fire  can  be  maintained  by  reg¬ 
ulation  of  the  dampers  and 
drafts,  which  are  simple,  easily 
understood  and  operated.  Note 
the  large  top  surface  of  this 
range;  the  strong,  heavy  grate 
and  leg  base;  the  pan  rest  on 
outside  of  oven;  the  handsome 
nickel  plating,  convenient  tea 
shelves  and  large  high  shelf. 
Can  be  had  with  large  reser¬ 
voir  of  sufficient  capacity  to 
insure  having  plenty  of  hot 
water  whenever  there  is  fire  in 
the  stove.  With  proper  care 
a  high  grade  cast  range  of  this 
description  will  last  a  life  time. 

In  Years  to  Come,  shyouou 

-—  ■  —  — —  Ancj  it 

necessary  to  replace  some  cer¬ 
tain  part  or  parts,  such  as  fire¬ 
box  linings,  grate  or,  in  fact, 
anything  that  goes  to  make  up 
this  range,  you  can  get  it.  We 
can  always  supply  you  with 
any  piece  or  part  for  the  repair 
of  any  stove  or  range  you  may 
purchase  from  us;  and  you  can  always  keep

Pride  Cast 


Complete  With  High  Shelf 


There  is 
nothing  left 
to  be  de- 
handsomely  carved  and 
the  improved 


sired  in  this  range.  The  heavy  castings  are 
contribute  wonderfully  to  the  beauty  of  the  range,  while 
construction  is  a  guarantee  of  such  splendid  qualities  as  to  make  a  first- 
class  cooker  and  baker.  No  one  manufacturer  can  boast  the  reputation  of 
being  the  leader  in  every  style  of  stove,  but  the  maker  of  the  Royal  Pride 
is  the  largest  and  best  in  the  world  as 
far  as  cast  ranges  are  concerned.  This 
we  have  learned  from  an  actual  ex¬ 
perience  of  over  twenty-five  years, 
during  which  time  we  have  put  to 
practical  test  the  products  of  nearly 
every  manufacturer  of  high  grade 
stoves  in  the  United  States.  There 

great  deal  of  satisfaction  in  knowing 
that  you  are  getting  a  thoroughly  high 
grade  stove  and  one  that  will  stand  up  un¬ 
der  hard  and  constant  use  and  give  the 
highest  degree  of  satisfactory  service.  Our 
stoves  are  known  the  country  over  and  we 
have  the  reputation  far  and  wide  as  the  place  to 
go  for  genuine  stove  satisfaction. 

Central  Market SS& 

"PIMItn  —  *  the  world.  More  high  grade 

stoves  and  ranges  are  sold  from  here  than  fr  m  any 
other  city  in  the  world.  Located  as  we  are,  right  here 
in  the  center  of  the  market,  we  are  able  to  save  you 
considerable  money  on  your 
range  and  at  the  same  time 
give  you  the  best  grade.  We 
handle  only  such  stoves  as 
bear  the  reputation  of  being  the  best  of 
their  kind  and  we  guarantee  to  please  you 
in  every  way  or  refund  your  money  and 
pay  all  freight 
charges.  We  make 
prompt  shipment 
and  guarantee 
lowest  freight 
rates. 

The  Price 

It  is  not  unlikely 
that  some  houses 
will  list  a  cast  range  pur- 

Ijorting  to  have  all  the 
atest  and  best  improve¬ 
ments  at  a  lower  price. 

But  to  make  the  price  low¬ 
er  would  mean  to  cheapen 
the  quality,  for  in  the  first 
place,  the  almost  unlimit¬ 
ed  amount  of  goods  we  sell 
enables  us  to  buy  in  much 


_  iiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliilllll 

lar¬ 
ger 

quantities  and  thus 
get  greater  conces¬ 
sions  in  prices  from 
the  manufacturer  than 
any  other  one  concern. 

And  secondly:  There  are  many 
new  imoroved  features  on  the 
Royal  Pride  which  cannot  be 
found  on  any  other  range.  Our 
connection  with  this  great  factory 
is  akin  to  ownership  and  we  are  in 
such  favor  as  to  be  able  to  get  every

The  Pioneer  urdike  any  other  Box  Stove  made  because  we  have  put 
1  llp  rlUIIBoi  jnt0  jt  a  much  better  grade  of  material  than  was  ever  before 
used  in  the  making  of  this  kind  of  a  stove.  Manufacturers  have  never  hid¬ 
den  the  fact  that  their  box  stoves  are  a  sort  of  by-product,  made  when  they 
are  not  busy  in  other  departments,  and  the  materials  used  are  confessedly 
second-class.  We  blame  the  manufacturers  who  make  that  kind  of  box  stove, 
and  the  dealers  who  sell  it,  because  they  are  not  dealing  fairly  with  their  cus¬ 
tomers — they  are  reducing  the  quality  in  order  to  cut  the  price. 

We  Chenned  Thte  when  we  placed  our  new  contract  for  Box  Stoves.  A  clause  of  this 
we  "  °  *  '”5  contract  reads  that  the  same  high-grade,  first-class  materials  must 

be  used  in  the  Pioneer  Box  Stove  as  are  used  in  the  making  of  the  more  expensive  stoves.  Our  customers 
don’t  want  to  nay  less  than  $4.25  to  $11.40  for  a  Box  Stove  and  get  one  that  will  not  last.  We  have 
therefore  put  the  best  quality  into  each  Pioneer  Box  Stove  so  it  will  give  lasting  service. 

Thn  Till  made  to  swing  to  one  side  so  that  the  fire  may  be  fed  from  the  top  as  well  as  from  the  front, 
*  !_?_  when  the  large  swing  door  is  open.  In  the  two  small  sizes  the  swing  top  is  fitted  with  one  lid, 

but  in  the  five  larger  sizes,  two  lids  are  furnished,  size  of  lids  ranging  from  6  inches  up  to  9  inches  in 
diameter,  depending  upon  size  of  stove  ordered.  Be  sure  to  give  catalog  number  and  price  of  stove  wanted. 


If  you  will  refer  to  the  table  of  meas¬ 
urements  opposite  picture, you  will  see 
that  you  can  buy  this  stove  in  seven 
sizes.  The  smallest  size  will  take  a  piec 
of  wood  18  inches  long  while  the  largest 
size  will  take  wood  twice  the  length  and  as  big 
across  as  12x24  inches.  On  this  Box  Stove  you  can 
cook  breakfast  and  heat  your  room  at  the  same  time. 
Mention  catalog  number  and  price  of  stove  wanted.

portant  to  get  one  that  will  not  burn  out, 
that  is,  one  made  of  heavy  castings  that 
will  not  warp  out  of  shape  or  crack  and  be¬ 
come  prematurely  worthless.  The  “Model 
Laundry”  stove  we  show  here  is  so  well  made 
that  it  will  outlast  any  two  of  the  common  light  weight  laundry  stoves 
advertised  by  other  mail-order  houses.  It  has  the  new  improved  scientific 
system  of  drafts  which  economize  coal.  The  coal  gases  that  go  through 
tne  ordinary  stove  and  up  the  chimney,  are  so  combined  with  air  in  the 
“Model  Laundry”  stove  that  they  become  combustible  and  are  consumed, 
giving  off  added  heat.  In  fact,  this  stove  will  more  than  pay  for  itself 
in  the  course  of  a  year  because  it  requires  so  much  less  coal  than  the  average 
laundry  stove  and  can  be  regulated  to  give  an  even,  steady  heat. 

The  BdSS  The  base  is  large  and  heavy  and  is  fitted  with  8  iron  holders  around  the’ octa- 

-  .  i  gonal  fire  pot  so  you  can  heat  as  many  as  eight  irons  at  one  time  while  you  are 

using  the  top  for  other  pui  poses.  It  has  screw  draft  register,  safe  clamp  ash  pan  door  fastener, 
and  base  is  moulded  in  a  handsome  carved  design.  The  arrangement  of  the  fire  pot  and  the 
construction  of  the  main  top  is  such  that  the  heat  is  evenly  distributed.  Top  has  two  8-inch 
holes  and  the  fire  pot  is  1114  inches  in  diameter.  This  wonderful  stove  is  our  number  33F- 
<14  and  you  may  order  it  with  the  assurance  of  getting  a  perfect  laundry  stove  with  all  the 
new  up-to-date  features  and  one  without  a  defect  of  any  kind.  We  guarantee  this  stove  and 
.ecommend  it  to  you  as  the  greatest  bargain  of  the  kind  ever  offered.

Double  Oven 

This  magnifi¬ 
cent  gas  range 
has  large  broil¬ 
ing  oven  in  addition 
to  the  full  size  bak¬ 
ing  oven.  The  inner 
walls  are  thorough¬ 
ly  lined  with  extra 
heavy  asbestos  board . 
This  extra  insulation 
of  asbestos  between 
two  steel  plates  con¬ 
centrates  the  heat  on 
the  oven  and  prevents 
it  frombeingradiated 
into  the  kitchen,  so 
there  is  no  heat  wast¬ 
ed.  Less  gas  is  used 
in  baking  and  broil¬ 
ing  because  all  of  the 
heat  is  utilized.

size  and  greatest  convenience.  The  two  largest  sizes,  numbers  33H-517  and 
33H-518,  have  water  heaters.  With  this  equipment  the  top  has  six  burners; 
the  two  extra  burners  are  for  heating  the  water,  but  the  lids  over  the  burners 
can  also  be  used  for  cooking  at  the  same  time  the  water  is  being  heated. 
The  illustration  here  shows  our  closed  top  with  cast  lids,  for  natural  gas. 
When  ordered  for  artificial  gas,  open  top  grates  are  supplied  instead  of 
closed  covers.  Please  specify  on  your  order  which  kind  of  gas  you  use. 

The  new  features  and  up-to-date  im- 

_ provements  on  the  “  Home  Pride  ”  are 

so  numerous  that  space  will  not  permit  an  explanation  of  all  of  them 
here.  There  are  many  ranges  selling  for  one-third  more  money  that 
cannot  compare  with  the  “  Home  Pride,”  and  if  you  are  anxious  to  get 
a  range  that  is  absolutely  perfect  in  every  detail  of  construction,  one  that 
will  economize  gas  and  give  excellent  satisfaction  permanently,  this  is  the 
one  to  buy.

city  or  town  has  water  works  and  you  have  the  water  piped  into  your 
house,  you  can  use  a  water  heater  in  your  range  by  getting  a  pressure 
boiler  to  use  in  connection  with  the  water  heater.  If  your  town  does 
not  have  a  water  works  then  you  cannot  use  a  water  heater  in  your 
range.  The  table  bqlow  gives  the  prices  with  and  without  water  heater.  Be

be  used  with  gasoline  or  acetylene  gas.

Gas  Range 


See  Table  Below 


This  wonderfully  improved  gas  range  is  exactly  like  the  one  illustrated  and  de- 
scribed  above  except  that  it  has  no  broiling  oven.  The  large  baking  oven  is  the  same, 
but  the  extra  oven  (the  broiling  oven)  is  left  out  of  this  range.  Many  people  do  not 
care  for  the  broiler  oven,  and  for  them  this  magnificent  “Home  Pride”  single  oven  gas 
range  is  ideal.  It  is  perfect  in  construction  and  in  operation. 

The  Oven  *s  ^arge’  anfl  the  heat  flues  are  so  arranged  that  the  heat  is  evenly  dis 
1  llc  1  tributed  about  the  oven,  insuring  even  baking  and  perfect  roasting.  B 

and  pastries  can  be  baked  without  burning  or  sticking,  and  roasts  retain  their  juicy  flavor. 
The  oven  thermometer  indicates  the  temperature  of  the  oven  at  all  times,  and  it  is  a  sim¬ 
ple  matter  to  regulate  the  heat  to  exactly  suit  your  needs.  The  splendid  results  obtained 
from  the  “  Home  Pride  ”  are  appreciated  by  every  housewife,  and  all  present  users  are  en¬ 
thusiastic  in  their  praise  of  this  remarkable  gas  range.  It  gives  splendid  satisfaction  and 
is  a  great  economizer  of  gas.  You  will  find  that  your  gas  bills  will  be  much  lower  and 
that  your  cooking  and  baking  will  be  done  better  with  the  use  of  the  “  Home  Pride.” 

The  BlimerS  one-Piece’  Star-shaped,  drilled  burners  are  easily  removed  for  clean- 

- ‘  ing.  There  are  three  standard  star  burners  and  one  triple  capacity  giant 

burner  with  simmering  burner  in  center,  all  lighting  separately.  The  large  four-line  oven 


burners  are  also  exactly  the  same  as  in  the  range  described  above 

The  Ton  as  shown  in  the  accompanying  illustration  is  what  is  known  as  the  closed  top 

UlS  J! _ U  for  natural  gas.  Where  manufactured  gas  (sometimes  called  artificial  gas)  is 

used,  the  open  top  grates  are  furnished.  Be  sure  to  mention  which  kind  of  gas  you  have 
to  burn,  so  we  will  knqw  which  top  to  fit  on  your  range. 

Water  Heaters  You  wil1  note  ^7  referring  to  the  table  below  that  this  range  is  fur- 
nished  either  with  or  without  water  heater.  Do  not  order  a  range  with 
water  heater  unless  your  house  is  piped  with  running  water,  and  be  sure  to  give  correct 
catalog  number  and  price  of  the  range  you  select. 

Best  Oualitv  ^est  construction  and  best  workmanship  are  represented  in  the 
aca -  Home  Pride.  It  is  useless  to  make  comparison  with  any  other  gas 

range  offered  on  the  market,  because  our  price  is  the  lowest,  considering  quality,  and 
our  guarantee  insures  entire  satisfaction.  Gas  Companies  like  to  connect  up  the  Home 
Pride  because  everything  fits  perfectly  and  they  never  have  any  trouble  with  it.

HOW  TO  FILL  OUT 

See  the  reverse  side  of  this  page  for  an  illustration  of 

For  the  special  benefit  of  the  few  people  who  do  not 
quite  understand  how  to  properly  fill  out  our  order  blank, 
we  will  take  up  the  various  points  in  detail  and  explain 
them  as  clearly  as  possible. 

DATE.  Fill  in  the  month,  day  and  year  you  mail  us  your  order. 

NAME.  Write  your  full  name,  as  clearly  and  legibly  as  you 
can.  State  whether  Mr.,  Mrs.,  or  Miss. 

ADDRESS.  Be  sure  to  give  your  full  address.  State  the  name 
of  street  and  number  of  your  house,  if  you  live  in  a  large  city; 
or,  state  your  R.  F.  D.  or  P.  O.  Box  number,  if  any.  Remember, 
your  post  office  address  must  be  plainly  written  so  that  our 
acknowledgment  of  the  receipt  of  your  order  will  reach  you 
promptly. 

SHIPPING  POINT.  Remember,  the  shipping  point  is  often  different 
from  the  post  office  address.  BE  SURE  TO  STATE  YOUR 
NEAREST  SHIPPING  POINT.  If  your  town  or  city  is  situated 
on  a  railroad,  your  nearest  shipping  point  is  the  town  or  city  in 
which  you  live;  but,  if  there  is  no  railroad  station  in  your  town, 
or,  if  you  live  on  a  farm,  it  is  quite  important  for  us  to  know  just 
where  you  want  the  goods  shipped. 

RAILROAD.  It  is  equally  important  for  us  to  know  the  name  of 
the  railroad  upon  which  your  town,  or  upon  which  your  nearest 
shipping  point,  is  situated.  We  have  guides  showing  the 
name  of  the  railroad  that  passes  through  every  city,  town  and 
hamlet  in  the  country,  still  it  would  save  time  in  shipping 
your  order,  if  you  would  mention  the  railroad,  besides,  in  cases 
where  there  is  more  than  one  railroad  on  which  your  town  is 
situated,  it  would  give  us  an  idea  of  your  choice  of  railroads. 

IS  THERE  A  FREIGHT  AGENT  AT  YOUR  STATION?  Be  sure  to  state 
whether  there  is  a  freight  agent  at  your  station  to  whom  you  can 
pay  the  freight  charges  when  you  receive  your  goods.  Do  not 
under  any  circumstances  overlook  this  point.  IF  THERE  IS  NO 
FREIGHT  AGENT  AT  YOUR  STATION  TO  WHOM  YOU 
CAN  PAY  THE  FREIGHT  CHARGES  IT  WILL  BE  NECES¬ 
SARY  FOR  YOU  TO  SEND  US  ENOUGH  MONEY  TO  COVER 
THE  FREIGHT  CHARGES  so  that  we  may  pay  it  for  you  at 
this  end.  By  referring  to  our  tables  of  transportation  charges  on 
pages  10  and  11  you  can  figure  out  approximately  just  how  much 
the  freight  will  amount  to  and  which  you  must  send  along  with 
the  first  payment  required  on  the  goods.  If  y;.u  send  more  money 
than  necessary  to  prepay  the  freight,  we  will  either  return  the  dif¬ 
ference  to  you,  or,  as  is  customary,  we  will  credit  it  to  your 
account.  It  is  understood  that  we  do  not  pay  the  freight  charges, 
therefore,  do  not  under  any  circumstances  ask  us  to  do  so  unless 
you  forward  us  enough  money  to  pay  them. 

SENDING  MONEY.  To  insure  safety  always  register  a  letter  con¬ 
taining  currency.  The  safest  way  is  to  send  your  money  in  the 
form  of  a  Post  Office  or  Express  money  order.  We  do  not  accept 
postage  stamps  over  the  amount  of  $1.  On  the  reverse  side  of  this 
sheet,  note  at  the  top  underneath  the  hand  the  words:  “To  apply 
as  first  payment  on  goods  mentioned  below,  enclosed  find.”  In 
the  spaces  there  given  opposite ‘  “draft  or  check,”  Post  Office 
Order,”  etc.,  you  must  fill  in  the  amount  of  money  you  are  send¬ 
ing  as  first  payment.  When  sending  money  to  be  used  to  prepay 
freight  charges,  be  sure  to  notify  us  on  a  separate  sheet  of  paper, 
stating  the  amount  sent. 

HOW  TO  ORDER  GOODS.  First  decide  upon  the  kind  of  merchan¬ 
dise  or  goods  you  wish  to  purchase.  Then  refer  to  the  inside  of 
the  back  cover  of  this  catalogue  for  our  handy  index  to  everything 
listed  in  this  book.  Find  the  page,  select  your  article  and  place 
its  catalogue  number  in  the  column  underneath  the  words  “CATA¬ 
LOGUE  NUMBER,”  on  the  reverse  side  of  this  sheet.  Every 
article  liste  1  in  this  catalogue  is  numbered,  there  being  so  many 
different  styles,  and  this  catalogue  number  is  given  either  at  the 
beginning  or  at  the  end  of  the  description  of  the  article  chosen. 
Sometimes  an  article  furnished  in  different  sizes  has  a  different 
number  for  each  size,  but  it  is  advisable  not  only  to  state  the 
article’s  Catalogue  number,  but  its  size,  in  plain  figures,  as  well. 
Opposite  “catalogue  number,”  you  must  fill  in  the  column  “How 
many.”  That  is,  if  you  order  a  table,  place  the  figure  1  underneath 


THE  ORDER  BLANK 

a  “model’’  order  blank  and  guide  yourself  accordingly. 

“How  Many,”  or  if  you  should  order  4  chairs,  place  the  figure  4. 
there.  Next  to  this  is  a  column  that  should  not  be  used  by  the 
customer  and  we  ask  that  it  be  left  free  from  writing,  if  possible. 
This  columif  is  for  our  own  use  in  the  office.  In  the  wide  column 
under  “NAME  OF  ARTICLE”  state  the  article  selected,  also 
whether  you  want  it  finished  in  oak  or  mahogany.  Also  state 
color  of  upholstering,  if  the  article  selected  should  be  a  parlor 
suite,  go-cart,  parlor  chair,  davenport  or  Morris  chair;  or,  if  a  bed, 
state  color  of  enamel  wanted.  Before  making  a  choice  of  “oak” 
or  “mahogany”  be  sure  to  read  the  description  of  the  article  care¬ 
fully  to  see  whether  we  quote  it  in  “oak”  or  “mahogany.”  It  is 
only  where  a  choice  is  given  in  the  description  of  the  article  that 
we  can  supply  it  in  either  finish.  Remember,  also,  that  furniture 
made  of  hardwood  is  generally  finished  in  either  oak  or  mahogany 
and  remember  that  this  refers  only  to  its  finish.  For  example,  a 
chamber  suite  made  of  hardwood  finished  in  oak  means  that  it  is 
of  a  rich  golden  color  that  resembles  oak.  Finished  in  mahogany, 
it  is  of  a  dark  color  resembling  mahogany  wood.  ABOVE  ALL 
READ  THE  DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  ARTICLES  YOU  SE¬ 
LECT  AND  TAKE  YOUR  CHOICE  OF  WHAT  EVER  IS

The  extraordinary  conditions  surrounding 
our  procuring  of  this  magnificent  ware 


UNPRECEDENTED  OFFER 

n  "  reads  like  a  romance.  One  of  the  famous 

Potteries  was  about  to  list  this  wonderful  set  as  their  leader  for  the  coming 
year,  to  be  sold  to  the  finest  city  trade,  when  our  representative  appeared  upon 
the  scene.  By  a  special  arrangement  and  agreement  to  take  the  entire  pro¬ 
duction,  and  thus  save  the  makers  the  enormous  expenses  of  travelling  sales¬ 
men,  all  jobbers’  commissions  and  the  thousand-and-one  other  marketing  costs, 
we  secured  the  exclusive  sale  and  distribution  of  this  magnificent  ware. 

THE  ENORMOUS  SAVINGS 


THE  NEWEST  STYLE 


To  the  Pottery  thus  made  and  the  certain 
market  guaranteed,  a  new  basis  of  actual  cost 
was  arrived  at  that  even  surpassed  the  most 
sanguine  expectations  of  our  enthusiastic  and 
shrewd  representative.  And  the  startlingly  low 
sale  price  which  we  are  now  able  to  make  on 
such  rare  and  valuable  ware  will  be  appre¬ 
ciated  as  the  most  welcome  and  opportune  of 
all  bargains  by  everyone  who  is  foftunate 
enough  to  see  this  most  astounding  offer. 


HOW  IT  IS  MADE 


Do  not  confuse 
this  ware  with  or¬ 
dinary  cheap  por¬ 
celain  dinner  sets  because  of  our  sensationally 
low  price.  This  is  no  ordinary  ware.  It  is 
in  a  class  far  above  the  common  grades  usually 
offered  by  mail  order  houses  at  much  higher 
prices.  It  is  the  genuine  American  Semi- 
Porcelain  with  clear  snow-white  finish  and 
double  glaze.  The  glazing  is  positively  craze- 
proof,  being  made  by  the  new  process  which 

blends  the  strength  of  the  porcelain  with  that  of  the  glazing,  making  it  proof 
against  crazing.  We  do  not  handle  any  china  ware  that  cannot  be  absolutely 
and  unrestrictedly  guaranteed,  and  we  would  not  place  this  ware  at  your  dis¬ 
posal  if  it  were  not  up  to  every  standard  of  high  grade  ware. 


Each  Set  Consists  Of 


6 — 8(4  inch  Dinner  Plates, 

6' — Cups, 

6— Saucers, 

6—514  inch  Sauce  Dishes, 

6— Individual  Butter  Dishes,

Colonial  designs  have  become  ultra  fashion¬ 
able  everywhere,  and  are  looked  upon  by 
everyone  as  the  most  beautiful  and  most 
sensible  styles.  The  highest  priced  chinaware  made  is  now  being  produced  in 
Colonial  designs  because  the  people  are  demanding  this  style.  Every  house¬ 
keeper  who  wants  to  be  up-to-date  and  to  have  her  table  set  with  dishes  that 
are  as  stylish  and  handsome  as  those  used  in  the  finest  homes  should  purchase 
this  beautiful  set.  This  is  the  New  Era  of  Colonial  designs.  People  are 
going  back  to  the  splendid  styles  that  were  brought  over  from  the  old 

country  by  our  forefathers.  The  wonderful 
beauty  of  these  designs  are  beginning  to  be 
appreciated  by  our  present  generation,  and  the 
demand  for  them  is  enormous.  You  cannot

attraction  of  the  most  expensive  china  made

it  is  strong,  serviceable  ware.  It  is  the  finest 
grade  of  genuine  American  Porcelain  that  can 
be  produced  and  comes  from  one  of  the  world’s 
largest  and  most  widely  known  Potteries.

Michigan  is  the  great  lumbering  camp  of  the  world.  She 
is  known  everywhere  as  the  home  of  the  furniture  factory. 
There  is  scarcely  a  store  or  mail-order  house  in  the  United 
States  selling  housefurnishings  that  does  not  come  here  to 
buy.  We  are  located  in  Detroit,  the  great  metropolis  of 
Michigan,  where  we  have  every  advantage.  We  control  factories  and  sell  to  you  on  the  same  low  prices  that  we  sell  to  dealers.  Buy  direct 
from  headquarters — we  save  you  all  middlemen’s  profits  and  jobber’s  and  wholesaler's  commissions.  It’s  easy  to  pay  the  People's  way.
